The Maps of Myrist

Ogre legends claim that each of the twelve peaks in this range sprung forth from the very spot where a member of the Rathe Council was slain by the ogre hero, Murdunk, after he invaded the Plane of Earth.

The Rathe Mountains are located just beyond the jungle of the Feerott. Peaks of granite, covered with grass and pines, tower above the lush wilderness. Adventurers are often advised to avoid the steep slopes of the mountainsides when traveling in haste, for many have lost their step and fallen to their death.

Many creatures call this place home – those natural to this region and many immigrants. Among the native inhabitants are the grizzly and kodiak bears who have roamed these mountains for countless decades. Lizardmen outcast from the rumored Lost Temple of Cazic-Thule (thought to be in the Feerott swamp) have taken shelter here, constructing small, simple tents of animal hides and carving massive obelisks out of entire trees in honor of their culture and deity.

An ancient druid circle not unlike those found throughout the rest of Norrath, stands atop a high plateau. It is a welcome spot for many adventurers fortunate enough to have gained the favor of a druidic priest. A few druid settlers and protectors can be found in this region, warding away the abominations of undead that represent the venomous shadow of corruption lurking within every corner of Norrath.

Several ruins and lone towers dot the terrain, signaling a gruesome event that occurred in recent eras past. The most mysterious of these ruins appear to be arms of stone that reach out from the mountains themselves. There are many stories surrounding this intriguing phenomenon – the most prominent being that they are the arms of the earth itself reaching out in its anguish as the Rathe Council was being slaughtered by Murdunk's army.
