The World's Crown

The World's Crown is a cluster of mountains within the northernmost reachs of the Midpoint Mountains, which seperates the lands of the Nor'dwik in The West and the wild lands known as Troll Country in The East. It is a series of five mountains which makes a formation similar to a 'crown.' This shape, along with it's proximity in the north, or 'top' of Raeltir, is where the locations gets it's name

The World's Crown is known for it's inhospitable environment- with temperatures capable of freezing a man with ease. It also has a distinct lack of vegetation throughout. Generally being avoided by such races as humans has lead to the prosperity of many otherwise endangered or extinct animals, which have adapted to the cold climates present.

The World's Crown is made up of five mountains- Dwain, Felhorn, Catas-moun, The Wyv, and Dagger'Dwel. The Wyv is the northernmost mountain, with Felhorn and Dwain to the east and west, respectively, and Catas-Moun south, creating the 'crown', and a natural shield making most incapable of entering the lands within. The last mountain, Dagger'Dwel, lies further to the south and west than Catas-moun, therefore is set apart from the actual 'crown', yet is still counted amongst them.

As previously mentioned, the World's Crown is famously known for it's inhospitable nature. Although Dagger'Dwel, which translates to Settler's Mound in the Nor'dwik tongue, has a tribe of people living upon it, any wildlife past this point is very rare. Felhorn is by far the worst, said to be constantly enveloped in a never-ceasing blizzard, it's harsh, forboding nature makes it nigh-impossible for anyone to pass over the Mountains via the World's Crown. Although whether it was originally created by nature or by magic- there is a stunning piece of scenary within the World's Crown which surely wouldn't have lasted throughout the Ages if not for the colder climate. It is known as the Champion's Bridge, an elongated pathway made of ice, thousands of feet above ground, which connects Dwain to The Wyv near their peaks. This pathway is often used by those of the Nor'dwik who feel they are great enough to face the dangers of The Wyv.

To the north of the World's Crown is the ocean which surrounds Raeltir. To the east lies Troll Country, to the west lies the Nor'dwik, and to the South the Midpoint Mountains, (specifically, the mountains Whitetop and Catas-lesser.)
