Butcherblock Mountains

Rising up from the shores of the Ocean of Tears and towering high above Dagnor's Cauldron and the Greater Faydark Forest are the peaks of the Butcherblock Mountains. These mountains cradle the home of the dwarves, Kaladim, which was dug beneath the very roots of these mighty behemoths of earth and granite.

Due to their close proximity to the Ocean of Tears, the Butcherblock Mountains are graced with a temperate climate that consists of a constant, ocean breeze and frequent, mild showers of cool rain and costal fog. This climate has generously given birth to the lush vegetation to flourish in this area, making the Butcherblock Mountains the emerald jewel of Faydwer.

The dwarves of Kaladim, for whom the mountains have provided generous bounties of precious jewels and the finest iron ores in all of Faydwer, speak an awesome legend surrounding the mountains and its importance to their people. According to this legend, a dwarven hero of unsurpassed might and honor by the name of Dagnor Butcherblock, for whom these mountains are named, pounded these hearty towers of earth and stone from the very heart of Norrath.

Many druids of the land use the ancient ruins as a focal point for their teleportations. Those who are not of the druidic persuasion can avail themselves of the more plebian transport of the great ships that regularly sail to Freeport in Antonica, as well as Firiona Vie on the continent of Kunark.
