Cliffkeep Mountains

The Cliffkeep Mountains are a system of mountains in northern Tal'Dorei. This mountain range, the largest on the continent, reaches out from Kraghammer to Gatshadow Mountain to Jorenn Village. Most of the mountains are inhabited by dwarves, including the notable city of Kraghammer.

On the surface

 * Fort Daxio: A redoubt of the Republic of Tal'Dorei situated in the western reaches of the mountain range, guarding the Othendin Pass.
 * Gatshadow Mountain: A massive spire at the southeastern tip of the range warped by the power of Tharizdun, who was imprisoned beneath the mountain. At various times, served as a base for Tharizdun's priest Acek Orattim, the dying mage Drath Mephruhn who tried to take over Grog Strongjaw's body, and the ancient black dragon Umbrasyl during his domination of Westruun.
 * Lyrengorn: A wood elf city in the far north of the range.
 * The Palace of Wonder: Originally a citadel of early settlers from Issylra in the remote northwestern Cliffkeeps, now headquarters of the League of Miracles.
 * The Pools of Wittebak: A former gnomish city abandoned after being ruined by hill giants.
 * Reaching Bluff: A village in a fertile valley in the remote northwestern reaches of the Cliffkeeps that dug up a Luxon beacon and tried to keep it a closely guarded secret.
 * Terrah: The home village of the Earth Ashari, located in a valley in the center of the range.

Inhabitants
The most prominent inhabitants of the Cliffkeeps are humanoid: dwarves, half-giants, goblins, and kobolds. The range is also a home to a wide variety of giants: cyclops, fire giants, frost giants, hill giants, ettins, and trolls. Deep beneath the ground, the Cliffkeep Mountains house the myconid race.
