Mountains
The Antasian Mountains
The ancient and towering Antasian Mountains split east central Aurea. Even though the range was once claimed entirely by the Great Empire, except for four major passes through the range, the Imperials never truly tamed the deep valleys and high mountains. Recently, giants and their goblin slaves have been raiding the foothills on both sides of the Antasian Mountains. Some believe these raids are highly organized over relatively vast distances, suggesting that some ruler has risen among the giants there, preparing to send his armies into the lowlands of Aurea to ravage the isolated human communities in the foothills.
Deep beneath the sharp peaks of the Antasian Mountains lies the dwarven nation of the Unterreich. Unlike other dwarven Kingdoms, the dwarves of the Unterreich remain isolationists, despite the establishment of a treaty between humans and dwarves in the waning years of the Third Age of Man and the only contact with these dwarves are through the criminals that they exile to the surface world.

The Challieann Mountains
The rolling, frozen Challieann Mountains cut through northern Aurea, diving the Gael lands to the north from the formerly Imperial territory to the south. Much of the Challieann Mountains are inhabited by Gael clansmen considered savage and strange even by their kin in the lowlands to the north. There are a few pockets of goblin tribes in the south of the range and a few isolated orcish settlements in the deep valleys of the northern part of the range, remnants of the orcish horde that ravaged the region late in the Third Age of Man. Deep, glacial valleys among the northern peaks are believed to be inhabited by strange, blue giants who somehow survive in the frozen wastes that neither man nor orc even tries to settle in.
The dwarves of the Kingdom of Nuithone have deep mines beneath the Challieann Mountains and have recently opened a route into the western extent of the range, establishing the colony of Schweinholz on the surface world.
The Cambrecian Mountains
The Cambrecian Mountains rise sharply in central Duria and run southward towards the the Endless Ocean. They are substantially higher and rockier than the more northerly Divian Mountain range, averaging about 12,000 feet about sea level. The Throne of Balthor, the tallest mountain on Duria, rises over 15,500 feet into the sky. Much of the surface of the Cambrecian Mountains are wild, with giants, goblins and strange creatures lurking in its deep valleys. In contract, the dwarves of the Kingdom of Derlos have built expansive caverns and cities beneath the mountains, with a large fortification dominating the one known pass through the mountain chain. There are rumors of other dwarven settlements on the surface, though few human scholars or merchants are willing to brave the wilds of the mountains to confirm these rumors.
