Daïdänt mountains

Promarily located in Leide, though its westernmost edges and highest peaks stretch into Sorenland, the Daïdänt is a mountain range found in central Ewura. It dates back to the Third Age and contains some of the tallest mountains in the world. Sparsely populated by self-contained communities, it is a wild and dangerous place. Roads and settlements are frequenty predated by bandits and wild animals, and the inabitants are almost universally hostile to outsiders.

Inhabitants

The Daïdänt's most notorious human inhabitants include the Ironwrights, whose main compound is hidden somewhere among the mountains, and the bandits Aníbal Dias and Cézar 'the King' Varela, Elliw 'Dicey' Dacus, and Miroslava 'Mirror' Shuksin who, along with their gangs, are believed to be living in the steep valleys and large cave systems throughout the range.

Industry

Mines and attached company towns have been established along rich seams of iron, copper, tin, silver, lead, and quartz, and the rivers often run black with tailings and runoff, especially after heavy rainfall.
 

Flora and fauna

From the not-quite human travellers and uncanny children known as Dreamfolk, to rumours of dragons - changeable beasts made of Dream - the hypnofauna of the Daïdänt is predatory and
 

Landmarks and notable locations

Despite being a major industrial location, dotted with mines and mining towns, the Daïdänt is full of thin places, so talk of 'landmarks' is somewhat misleading. Noted locations include: 1. A hand-built church deliberately built on the edge of a thin place; it only appears to other outlaws who follow the bandit's code of ethics and cannot be seen from all angles. 2. Locations in the grasslands which blow with a contrary wind, People have disappeared between the standing stones, in gaps only a few metres apart that, nonetheless, take days to travel between. Bizarre geometric shapes appear in the grass spontaneously. 3. Heavily guarded against the Ironwrights, the Witchmarket is a literal underground market where, rumour has it, anything can be procured, if you have something of equal value to exchange.
