The Black Peaks

The Black Peaks are a mountainous range along the western border of the Forbidden Zone. The mountains have numerous named peaks of various sizes and elevations including Mount Yst, the White Mount, The Fang, and Mount Desolate. These range from 9,000 to 12,000 feet high. Sages believe there are at least two passes, likely on either side of the articulation with the Coal Hills, through the mountains to the badlands of The Forbidden Zone. Monstrous humanoids use the passes to raid north of the peaks. There is also at least one Orc stronghold, maybe more, somewhere in the range. Lead, iron, copper, and silver can be found in the mountains but they have not been mined by humans, as of yet.
