Blue Rock Mountains

The Blue Rock Mountains of the southern Pavalonian peninsula are a desolate rocky place where little vegetation grows and the blue hue of Naser stones stand out among the colorless and bleak landscape. Stretching from Ashers Peak in the south to the Echo cliffs in the north, the range is the largest and tallest in the region and is scarcely inhabited with stories of monsters and curses keeping the common folk away. The Mountains are also the origin of both the Ruby and the Retra Rivers with former flowing through the city state of Gyllian and the latter through the forgotten city of Avais. For both these states the barren and hard to traverse region of Blue Rocks has formed a natural defensive barrier that enabled the isolation and protection from threats. From these advantages both were able to grow into large settlements that profited from maritime commerce as terrestrial travel was limited.

Coldrock ridge on the southern fringe of the range is known for its series of high peaks that are the largest for leagues and have un-melting glaciers among its highest points that led to their name. The crucial Silentop gap in the range is the only means the city of Gyllian can access the mainland.

The stories of winged man-like beings whose threats of devouring the hearts of trespassers echo through the northern peaks, although the likely explanation is superstitious common folk misinterpreting the warnings of Forlorn Wardens.
