Sunderpeak Mountains

The Sunder Peak Mountains are one of three known major mountain ranges on the continent of Issylra.

Description
Located south of the region of Othanzia and two days' ride on horseback southwest of its major population center of Vasselheim, the steep Sunder Peak range divides the northern region of Othanzia from the lesser-known (and virtually unexplored) regions of Issylra to the south. This mountain range also includes an intensely volcanic region that is home to a rift with the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Notable places

 * The Cindergrove: A petrified, ever-burning forest in the valley caldera atop the Sunder Peak Mountains, where the rift to the Elemental Plane of Fire is located.
 * Pyrah: The Fire Ashari keep a close eye on the rift from their village on the outskirts of the Cindergrove.

Creatures

 * Ettins: two-headed giants

Campaign 1
Cartographer Tyriok Gadsworth described the mountains as pretty steep. Vox Machina, traveling to Pyrah, could smell ash and something like burnt cedar even at the base of the mountain range. To the untrained eye the mountains looked like unclimbable, sheer cliffs, but Vex'ahlia spotted very thin, steep switchback paths leading up. The party fought off an attack by ettins on the path, and reached a three-mile-wide, uncomfortably hot caldera coated with jagged obsidian and scattered pools of sulfur-emitting mud. As they made their way toward the Cindergrove within, they encountered the Fire Ashari.

Vox Machina later returned to the mountains after Thordak's attack on Pyrah.
