The Cloud Peaks

Mountains in Amn

The Cloud Peaks are a small but very tall range marking the northern border of Amn, separating it from the Sword Coast and the Western Heartlands.

Steep ravines drop away beside wind-scoured paths, and the snow on Mount Speartop hardly ever melts.

Overview

The Cloud Peaks are small as ranges go but very tall, crowned by Mount Speartop. Their paths are full of ravines and sudden drops, the winds are dangerous and snow covers them most of the year.

Nashkel and Purskul lie at their feet on our map.
