Drakeclaw Mountains

The sharp-edged and blackened Drakeclaw Mountains are a volcanically active range. The ruthless and brutal environment has little vegetation, steep and dangerous slopes, and constant rockfalls, earth tremors, and magma flows. There are few roads and passes through the mountain, and most travelers make their way to Elyria from Westemär in the wide valley between the Drakeclaw and Glimmer Mountains instead.

The greatest peak of the Drakeclaw Mountains is the terrible Dragon’s Maw, a colossal volcano. Its destructive eruptions have caused devastation throughout Elyria and Westemär throughout history, sending cinder, smoke, and ash out into the lands for hundreds of miles. Thankfully, such catastrophic events have only occurred twice in the past thousand years.

In ancient days, the mountains were populated by countless red dragons, including the very ones which made the first blood-pacts with the sorcerer-kings of old. Today, the Caspian Scalebreaker Legion have driven out many of the old dragons, but some still slumber here.
