The Amora Heights.
This is the largest mountain range stretching from the Northern Shores to the raging waterfalls of the Southern lands.
They are ruled by those known as the ‘Panther Lords’, the ones that can suffer the heights and are as elusive as they are mythical.
Rarely seen by those that venture up there, most merchants and travellers stick to the Mountain trail, known as the Snowpass. This allows one to cross and traverse the Mountains in ‘relative’ safety, for no one is truly ever safe on the road.
Gorm’s Hammer.
One of the highest peaks is known as Gorm’s Hammer. With its jagged peak, it was given the name because it is connected to the battleground where the giant Gorm the Cruel fought Venradhi Thousandscar.
The tale goes that Gorm the Cruel used to live on the Mountain, coming down only to snatch up children and fair maidens to feast upon. He was a great terror of the realm. Many a hero and many a knight had attempted to end the life of the vicious giant, but so far none prevailed.
It wasn’t until a lowly tailor figured out a way to defeat him.
He did so by luring in another great threat, namely Venradhi Thousandscar, a terrible Dragon with a distaste for trolls and giants. Though many versions of the tale exist, with the lowborn hero eliciting help from all sorts of sources, the ending ends up pretty much the same, with a confrontation between the two terrors and them battling each other, whilst the clever little tailor weaves and sows his thin thread so efficiently that in the end they both topple, they ‘beat the current shape’ into the mountains during their fight and with their fall at the end.
Some say the Hammer is still there, hidden away when the both of them fell.
