Ironroot Mountains

The Ironroot Mountains are a stretch of mountains in eastern Khorvaire, lying parallel to the Hoarfrost Mountains and along the western border of the Mror Holds. It is believed that the Ironroot Mountains have some of the richest mineral deposits in Khorvaire.   The dwarves of the Mror Holds trade and mine in these mountains, but their operations tend to come under attack by the Jhorash'tar orc clans. Many clans of Jhorash'tar orcs live on the mountains, making it incredibly dangerous for wandering travelers and even more so for any dwarves.   Krona Peak is located in the center of the mountains and acts as trade hub to the rest of the Mror Holds. Goliaths live around the peaks of the Hoarfrost and Ironroot Mountains, and occasionally have relations with the local dwarves. Geriviars, rare and mighty giants who fight as living siege engines, wander in isolated valleys in the Ironroot Mountains and assault everyone they come across.   There is an underground aqueduct built by the dwarves which starts in the Ironroot Mountains and flows into Karrnath, going through Irontown before ending in Vulyar.   In the early days of the Last War, Mror miners made an astonishing discovery: the ruins of an ancient dwarven empire, vast halls deep within the Ironroot Mountains. Explorers uncovered mines still brimming with jewels and precious ores and vaults filled with riches and powerful artifacts. The Mrorians restored these ancient fortresses and worked to reclaim the secrets of their ancestors. Seeing the untapped potential of the Realm Below and the broken Kingdom of Galifar, the clan lords joined together to form the Iron Council and to declare the independence and sovereignty of the Mror Holds.   Some have reason to believe that there is a particular, unstudied, enigmatic special connection between the Ironroot Mountains and Khyber, though these claims are unfounded and not well understood.
