The Mournful Spires is a vast mountain range defined by its jagged peaks and deep, fog-filled canyons. Merchant lords control the high passes while ancient, gothic architecture clings to the cliffside. Magic is woven into daily commerce, powering the great lifts and lighting the perpetual gloom. Travelers navigate a landscape of crumbling ruins and opulent stone citadels, where the price of safety is paid in both coin and vigilance against the lurking shadows that inhabit the valleys.
