12.2.2.4 THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS

Curling around from the feet of Avechna's Peak to meet the Razines, the Northern Mountains are tall peaks, riddled with cliffs and swept by strong winds. Both the Toronada and Moon rivers find their sources here, a testament to the mountains' icy caps. The gates of Rockholm can be found carved into the cliff-sides, and there are also many paths through the foothills to lead down to the vast forest that is Serenwilde. St. Gathlyn's Orphanage lies within this range atop Mount Wend, as do the Clarramore Cloud Gardens further east.
