Dusky Mountains by Emma

The Apolli and Dusky Mountains belong to the Anyeli Empire and are a long, forked range of ice-capped peaks that split the mainland in half. Flanked by coniferous forests and pitted with glacier lakes, the mountains are the home and domain of the winged Anyeli, supporting a far larger population than they might have otherwise.

Despite the many dangers of mountain living, numerous villages, towns and forts nestle between the craggy giants, living off the animals that make their home here and exporting the minerals, gems and precious metals they mine. There are also a startling number of ruins as a result of the Anyeli Civil War, which has turned an otherwise profitable region into one of the poorest areas in the realm despite boasting a massive portion of Elysia's raw materials.
