The Serpentreach Mountains and known as the Serpentreach, are a sub-range of the great Serpentspine Mountains. The Serpentreach is the segment which extends west from the main body and forms the barrier between Cannor and Bulwar.
Geography[]
The Serpentreach is separated from its parent range by sudden valleys. The mountains are high and dense here, and see much snowfall, though sea-level temperatures are not particularly cold. The Serpentreach extends in a nearly straight line west, almost touching the Divenhal Sea. On the north side it ends very abruptly, but in the south it is much more gradual and there are many small mountain clusters before the land finally levels out.
History[]
Like the rest of the Serpentspine, these mountains were heavily excavated and settled by the dwarves during the time of the Aul-Dwarov. They dug a deep tunnel called Arg-Tunad to connect the Reach with the rest of the Spine. Most of the population was concentrated in the dwarven holds of Orlghelovar, Shazstundihr, Arg-Ôrdstun, Verkal Skomdihr, Ovdal Lodhum and Gor Bûrad. During the destruction of the Dwarven Empire, many holds were destroyed, with Orlghelovar and Gor Bûrad being conquered by orcs, Verkal Skomdihr being conquered by Deepwoods Goblins, Shazstundihr being destroyed by a Genie Relic with only Arg-Ôrdstun and Ovdal Lodhum surviving the destruction.
