The Northern Wastes

The cold north lands as not as empty as they appear. While there are no grand cities like those of Cayemar the wastes do support life. Various tribes wander the mountains and forests and eek a living out of the frozen earth. There are also Dwarves up here, lots of them.

From the northern borders of the Elmir Mountains a rolling hill country stretches out towards the far north where it meets the foreboding eaves of the Wolf Wood. To the west the Highpeak Mountains stand between the lowlands and the frozen oceans. To the east the hills give way to a frozen tundra known as the Bleak Lands where creatures of death wander the night.

The Mountains of Elmar
North of the Trollmarch Plains rise the Mountains of Elmar. This vast mountain range runs from northwest to southeast feeding the lands to the south with countless streams and rivers. They also act as a natural border between the lands of Cayemar and the north lands.

The Tinder Mines
On the southern face of the mountains can be found the entrance to the Tinder Mines. This is a small Dwarvern settlement led by an appointed elder. The mines are often frequented by men seeking to trade with the Dwarves for metals and precious stones.

The Deep Road
The Dwarves of the tinder mines have opened up an ancient passage into an underground pass they call the deep road. It is filled with danger but offers the quickest path to the lands beyond the mountains. None should tread in those dark caverns without a Dwarvern guide. Many a foolhardy adventurer has been lost down there seeking ancient treasures or the secrets of the past.
