Manhaerru Mountain
Pronunciation: man-HAIR-ru
Map Index: D-4
Location: At the southeastern end of the Kheleckoros Range where it joins Talathtarr in south central Aorlan
Geography: Manhaerru Mountain, anchoring the southern terminus of the Kheleckoros Range, overlooks the Talathtarr high plains in south central Aorlan. This majestic peak, soaring to an elevation of nearly 11,000 feet, boasts perpetual snow and ice on its upper slopes, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The mountain, recognized by druids, Valtauri elves, and the Herukh, as the world's most potent sacred site for elemental earth energy. The steep, rocky terrain impedes casual ascent, requiring days of technical rock climbing to reach the ancient shrine nestled within an energy node.
Despite its formidable nature, Manhaerru Mountain, untouched by the Great Cataclysm, remains a beacon of enduring earth magic, its ancient shrine a testament to the forgotten race that once revered its sacred energies.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Climate: Noteworthy are the mountain's unique weather patterns; its cold climate persists year-round, with only the lower slopes escaping icy embrace in summer. Unpredictable storms, fueled by southern and western air currents, unleash fierce winds and heavy snowfall, posing challenges to those daring the ascent.
Wildlife: With most of the mountain above the snowline, little wildlife calls this high peak home.
Humanoids: No humanoids except the Oread live here due to the high elevation. They live a life of solitude in natural and hand dug caves. They act as protectors of the mountain and deal with any visitors who dare ascend the mountain with bad intent. Druids, Valtauri elves, and the Herukh visit for only brief periods, usually to perform a ritual at the sacred shrine.
Monsters: No monsters currently live here. The Oread keep watch on all visitors and swiftly deal with threats to the mountain or sacred shrine.
History: The mountain weathered the Great Cataclysm without any negative effects.
Today: Manhaerru Mountain contains a sacred shrine dedicated to earth energy. Climbing to it can be a major undertaking.
