Name:The Great Barrier Range
Type: Mountain range
Location: Stretches across the entire continent
Borders: West: Dragon mountains; East - Great Northern Desert, North: Giantdowns & Northern Waste, South: the entire Midlands.
Features
This mountain range cuts completely across the continent from west to east. It is extremely high and cannot be crossed at all in any way other then by flying over it. There are only two known passes through the range. 1) Devil's Pass in the extreme east that leads to the Great Northern Desert, 2) Metamor Valley.
Flora and Fauna:
Almost none. Little grows or lives there as it is covered with ice and snow all year round and what does not have ice and snow is bare rock with only moss and fungus. There are legends of hidden valleys but they have not been confirmed. The only known inhabitants are the Binoq (see below).
People:
- Binoq - they represent the one of only two known inhabits of the entire mountain range. Little is known about them as they have almost no contact with anyone. They have only 1 city: Qorfuu.
- The Binoq have not been seen in centuries, and are presumed by most to be extinct.
- Nauh-kaee - Even less is known of the race of white gryphons known as the Nauh-kaee. They make their homes in the many crags and mountain peaks, and do their hunting in the lower passes where animals roam. The are in possession of the world's only known air ship, Nak-Tegheki, which in their tongue means "The Sky Leaving", which was built for their protection in days of yore by the Åelf. They have no cities but they do have holy places.
Notable places:
Qorfuu - the only known Binoq city, build underground.
The Great Barrier Range Today
This area is now a protectorate of the Empire of Metamor.
For those who even know about the titans, Nathales's prison is rumored to be somewhere deep underground, probably beneath the Great Barrier Range.
