Orsraun Mountains

Mountains in The Shining Plains · the Orsrauns

The Orsraun Mountains are the largest range south of the Spine of the World, forming most of the north-western border of Turmish.

Ridge after ridge rolls away between forest and sea, and somewhere in the north-east dwarven halls guard the Alaoreum.
