These lofty mountains are a wondrous balance between the beautiful and

the deadly-- their twisting, razor-sharp spires reach elegantly

towards the sky, but they mean certain death to anyone foolish enough

to attempt scaling them. Birds of prey and other winged beasts circle

high above, their cries echoing off of the naked peaks. A black crack

in the mountainside to the southwest leads deep underground, and a

trail along the bottom of a crevice leads off to the north.
