The grey mountains lie between the great demonwar and the Riverlands. They shield the lands north of them from the raging sandstorms of the desert lands and also from the demons that live there.
The mountains got their name from the colour of its rock that is a dark grey or even blackish colour. Due to the harsh look of the sharp mountain peaks it is also sometimes named "the rugged mountains"
Besides the unfriendly look from afar it is a place of opposites. While far up the high, cold and cruel peaks loom, in the deep valleys the warmer air and plentyful rain allow for many a small and hidden paradise.
The northern side of the mountains is by far the more populated one. From the vast woodlads to the steep mountain valleys, villages and small towns spread over the land. There are however few bigger cities in these lands.
On the southern side of the mountains, The high tower stands, a great citiy at its feet. But outside of its protective walls few people dare to live.
