Nhulokk Range
Pronunciation: NULL-lock
Map Index: F9, F10, G10, H9, H10
Location: This mountain range runs north to south in central Nhulokkarnum
Geography: The Nhulokk Mountains, old remnants of a once-mighty range, span from north to south, running down the center of Nhulokkarnum. Deeply incised streams, parts of a highly developed drainage network, run full in the winter but dwindle to dry stream beds in the arid summer months.
The Nhulokk Mountains boast a varied topography, with elevations ranging mostly from 3,000 to 5,000 feet, while three towering peaks exceed an elevation of 6,000 feet. While the landscape may appear tranquil, hidden dangers lurk within. The Great Cataclysm left its mark, altering the landscape and birthing perilous zones populated by perilous aberrations. Legends whisper of unique, extremely dangerous inhabitants, adapted to the mountains' challenges. The history of Nhulokk Mountains is etched in time, witnessing epochs of change, survival, and the enduring spirit of a rugged land shaped by the forces of nature.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Climate: In the north, a subtropical climate prevails, gracing the mountains with ample winter rainfall but turning the terrain arid come summer. Small trees and shrubs dot the landscape. Journeying south, the climate transitions to tropical conditions, intensifying the heat and aridity. Here, tropical desert scrub carpets lower elevations, giving way to stunted trees and shrubs at higher altitudes.
Wildlife: Common wildlife includes cougar, black bear, raccoon, fox, deer, wild boar, hawk, rattlesnake.
Humanoids: Few humans choose to live in the mountains due to the danger. However, the mountains are home to tribes of crow-like humanoids, the Tengu.
Monsters: A few of the dangerous creatures known to inhabit these mountains include cave giants, fire giants, red mantidrake, and roc.
History: The Nhulokk Range contains mountains that are extremely old. Rumors say that creatures from the second age still lie hidden under these mountains, biding their time to return. The Great Cataclysm proved devastating to creatures living in these mountains. Today, little vestige remains of the outposts established during the long reign of the Chuulonian Empire so long ago.
Today: The beauty of these mountains draws many to them, yet great dangers lie in store for the unwary.
