The ice-capped and craggy peaks of the Dragonspine Mountains are some of the highest on the continent, split by the steep chasm of the Obsidian Pass, which with thanks to its gondola, constructed by the Mountain Elves, serves as the easiest (and safest) way to cross the mountains. The Mountain Elf kingdom is located within the Dragonspine. In popular folklore, the Dragonspine Mountains are said to actually be the spine of the World Dragon fallen to Elanthia. They are also called the "Dragon's Spine" or "the Spine".
Mountain Elves
Around 2900 BL a faction of Wind Elves were invited to feast with the Dwarven King of Iron Clan in their halls in the Dragon Spine Mountains. Once there the Dwarves murdered all the adult Elves and enslaved the children. 150 years later Morganae and her fellow slaves killed all the Dwarves and made the mountains their new home, creating a new clan known as the Mountain Elves.
Lanival
According to legend, shortly after Lanival defeated Teiro and the Elves in the Resistance War he was ambushed near the Dragon Spine mountains by five elven assasins which, though it did not kill him, forced him into a sleep from which he will someday awake.
The fortress Chyolvea Tayeu'a and The Hive
This long-abandoned fortress in the Dragon Spine Mountains has been recently reoccupied and its secrets mined by the Warrior Mage Guildmaster Augrym.
Obsidian Pass and Gondola
The Obsidian Pass is the only safe passage through the Dragon Spine Mountains between the provinces of Ilithi and Zoluren. A gondola in the pass transports travelers and is said to be haunted by the ghost of Queen Morganae's murdered daughter Anlorahle. The pass was established by Ferdahl Alec and Queen Morganae around year 20 AV.
Current Inhabitants (Creatures)
The most common inhabitants on the slopes of the mountains are Snowbeasts and Granite Gargoyles. The Frostweavers also have an icy home and under the gondola are Grizzled Red Leucros, Yvhh La'tami, and Giant Blade Spiders. A race of insects called the Vykathi live in a hive beneath the fortress Chyolvea Tayeu'a.
