Turnback Mountains

Mountains in Anauroch

The Turnback Mountains is a nickname for the Abbey Mountains of the Moonsea North, whose southernmost peak, Turnback Mountain, hides the House of Gold beneath it.

Peaks rise beyond the cold Moonsea lands, steep enough that most travellers do as the name says and turn back.
