Giant's Run Mountains

Mountains in The Dragon Coast

The Giant's Run Mountains are a range west of the Vilhon Reach, named by the dwarves for a battle in which thousands of giants fell, and an outpost of the gold dwarves.

High ridges look down on the Shining Plains, and dwarven songs still tell of the giants who fell in the vale below.

Overview

The Giant's Run Mountains are the northern part of the Iltkazar Range, which runs south to the Shining Sea. Beneath Mount Dodild lies the dwarven city of Cairnheim.

Dwarven legend says they are named after the Fall of Karlyn's Vale, near the end of the Giant Wars, when more than 5,000 giants fell to the dwarves.
