Nether Mountains
Mountains in The Silver Marches
The Nether Mountains are a chain of dark peaks in the Silver Marches, once the border between ancient Netheril and the dwarven realm of Delzoun, now infested by orcs and blue dragons.
Dark peaks loom over the Moon Pass, where orc war bands fight each other for the road and travellers fear to camp.

Overview
The Nether Mountains once marked the boundary between Netheril and Delzoun. The Moon Pass, a great gorge, splits them into eastern and western ranges, and orc tribes such as the Thousand Fists fight over it.
The greatest danger in the range is a clan of blue dragons, the Morueme. Sundabar stands at its foot on our map.
