~Basic Info~
They call it the gateway to hell.
These are the most treacherous of all the mountain ranges in the land known to the humans of Jurgen. Here, the sharp cliffs bring death to most that venture here, and the animals have grown rabid out of hunger. They certainly won't think twice before gobbling up anyone silly enough to venture there.
The highest peak reaches well above the clouds, its peak permanately capped in snow. Caves and crevassess are everyday scenery on the mountain, along with the illusionists of the forever world. It is the only way on land into the world of Evengale, and many brave explorers spend their whole life on the peaks trying to map it.
By far, the desert is more dangerous, as water is plentiful on these peaks, however, if you don't know what you are doing, death is surely in stake for you. Unfortunatley, so little are brave enough to try it, there is know known standard for surviving in these mountains. Consequently, many brave explorers pass away in these mountains.
The weather in the summer can be assumed as fairly gentle, though there is an ever-present cloud often lurking somewhere in the sky. The highest peaks will remain cold and unpassable, but it is possible for someone to make it through during this time. That is, if they can span the gigantic length of these mountains before the onset of the next winter. The ranges are extremely wide and sretch from sea to sea. It is almost its own vallied world on one mountain range, except this world is far less welcoming than the earth below.
~Settlements~
There are no people on the top of these mountains, but towards its base, where the weather is more predictable, there are a few cabins. It is said there is a guide of montrous proportions near the base of the mountain that knows this side of the mountain like the back of his hand. Legends say, if anyone were to get you across, it would be him.
