Darval's Spine
The western mountains of Darval.
Geography
The high mountains on the western edge of the continent Darval. They go from the northern edge against The Frigid Sea to the southern edge against The Expanse. A protective barrier against invaders from the west. Along the base of the mountains are a scattering of small woods that harbors the native fauna.
Ecosystem
Aside from the regular deer, rabbits, squirrels, and birds there are many monster that roam through the mountains. A small village of mountain giants live high in the southern mountains, they keep to themselves and rarely venture to the eastern half of the mountains where the regular folk wander. There are also a few other giants that call the mountains home.
Climate
The northern half of the mountains are perpetually covered in a layer of snow while the sourthern half experience of few months of spring at the lower altitudes before the snow returns. The northern half regularly gets pelted by hail that makes working in the mountains difficult.
Natural Resources
There are deep natural tunnels throughout the mountains that go deep below them. There are human made mines on the nothern and southern parts of the mountain near the towns of Ja'ven and Wavern respectively, ores and gems of all types are found in the depths along with Quarditz Crystal. Aside from the mineral resources found below there are also wild vegetables and herbs that can be found throughout its slopes.
History
The moutains have limited historical relevance to the people of Darval or the rest of the world, however to the metallic dragons of the world it is a seat of power. One where they converge regularly throughout history to disseminate information and strengthen bonds, that is overseen by the Mountain King.
