Sunset Mountains

Mountains in The Western Heartlands

The Sunset Mountains are two ranges divided by the Far Hills, together forming an almost impassable wall between the Western and Eastern Heartlands.

Snowy ridges glow red at dusk above Sunset Vale, and the quarries cut into them gleam with black-veined marble.

Overview

The Sunset Mountains, with the Far Hills between them, form a high barrier between the Western and Eastern Heartlands and the eastern edge of Sunset Vale. Darkhold stands in them on our map.

They export a black-veined marble, which in the 14th century DR adorned the mansions of the old families of Selgaunt.
