Aethelgard

The Miasmar Mountains claw across the northern edge of Aethelgard, a jagged, unforgiving range shrouded in perpetual mist and shadow. Their peaks are jagged and bare, perpetually wreathed in noxious, swirling vapors that give the range its name. The air here is thick with the cloying scent of sulfur and decay, and the ground is often treacherous, riddled with hidden fissures and bubbling pools of foul-smelling liquid. Few dare to venture into the Miasmar Mountains, for they are rumored to be home to monstrous creatures, forgotten cults, and the lingering echoes of ancient, dark magic. The few passes that do exist are treacherous and winding, making travel through the mountains a perilous undertaking. The Miasmar Mountains serve as a natural barrier, isolating the northern reaches of Aethelgard and fostering an aura of mystery and dread.
