Highholt is a broad mountain region of frozen valleys, glittering passes, and settlements built wherever stone, water, or shelter permits. Ancient heroic deeds scarred the peaks, creating storms, enchanted ores, and places where magic gathers like weather. The Silver Road connects the region, but every traveler must surrender one treasured memory to cross it. Highholt offers dangerous wilderness, contested resources, isolated cultures, and countless routes between the wider realms of Veyra.
