The Everfrost Mountains
The Everfrost Mountains arc across the cold north and north-eastern regions of Kouchi, ending just as they begin to parallel the coastline a hundred more miles to the east. The mountains get increasingly denser the farther north they climb, the temperatures dropping more and more below the freezing levels. Few beasts or plants live near these permanently frozen mountains, and travelers do well to avoid them nearly all the time.
Not all cut a path away from the mountains, however. Colder clans of dwarves than the ones that would reside in the city of Acera live throughout these mountains, miners and hunters of rare minerals and beasts, respectively. Small villages and encampments are scattered throughout the Everfrost, the larger caves attracting more life than others, be this life sentient or not. However, with the poor visibility, a traveler could be within a quarter of a mile of a large hospitable cave or a Dwarven village without knowing it.
Ancient relatives of the dragons reside in these mountains, normal dragons being much rarer to find. Large wingless reptiles scale the slopes, varying in breeds and classifications, but their scaly hides are a thing of pride to a hunter and make these creatures all the more sought after. More treasures than just scales and pelts lie in these mountains though, and the while the more treacherous things get the deeper one goes, the more surprises one will find.
Bestiary:
Blood Eagle
Drake
Drakeling
Dwarf
EggDrake
Frost Giant
Hippogriff
Ice Dragon
Kryll
Lizalfos
Nemean Lion
Tigrex
Weretiger
White Dragon
