The Forbidden Peaks

The Forbidden Peaks were once undersea mountains that rose during the great disaster. Though the sealing of the Dark One happened elsewhere, his final resting place was in the Forbidden peaks. Rumor has it that the original place of battle, was on the slopes of a long-lost mountain that now lies beneath the waves with the continent of Galaria.

The present-day Forbidden Peaks lie in the heart of the continent Alriiea. Here, the Ceree keep a vigilant watch over it. The Agile Talon is the touchiest clan of the Ceree when it comes to matters concerning the Forbidden Peaks and the prisoner in them.

Ever since the seal on the prison of the Dark One has weakened, it has been nigh impossible to brave the slopes of the Forbidden Peaks. Winds that can carry off adult sheep blow down to halt any who try to fly upward and a constant stream of falling boulders deters anyone who attempts to climb by foot. Recently, only the four chieftains and their guests can climb due to the sheer amount of magic to prevent these 'deterrents' from affecting them.

Recently, the Forbidden Peaks has shown volcanic activity, a peculiar phenomenon since they never were volcanoes. While the smaller, more insignificant peaks just billow ash and dust, the tallest peak, where the Dark One is sealed has become increasingly active, even erupting once.
