Crag of Magus Mountains
The Crag of Magus Mountains or the "Crag" as they are more
commonly known throughout Golandor, are composed of a mountain range
that stretches from the northernmost tip of the land where the capital
city is located to the depths of the mysterious Vast
Forest to the south. At it's southernmost point, the Crag forms
the eastern wall of a valley that is bordered on the west side by the
easternmost tip of the Crystaline Mountains.
The Crag is known for it's hostile inhabitants and few Golandorians
have ventured beyond the foothills at the base of the mountains. The
range divides the kingdom of Golandor in half. The western portion of
Golandor that encircles the Sea of Horindal
is totally cut off from the eastern lands and coastal cities that border
the Rolling Water with the exception of one pass. This pass named Waymouth
Pass, is the only portion of the mountain range that is low enough and
maneuverable enough for wagons, carts, and horses to travel through.
Travel through the pass is risky due to the unpredictability of the
weather and the bands of roving bandits and worse, monsters, that prey
on the travelers passing through. This area has come to be patrolled
often by a special group of mercenaries called the Sentinels. This group
was formed by a merchant-turned-aggressive-bandit-killer named Andar
Borinthe after his family was killed by bandits in a robbery attempt.
It is said that he and over ninety men share in his cause to keep the
pass safe for travelers and it is said that they are rewarded handsomely
by the queen for their efforts.
