Frontier Mountains

The Frontier Mountains are a large mountain range that separates western and eastern Kunark with the plains of the Overthere to the west and the Dreadlands to the east. These tall, jagged peaks form an almost impenetrable barrier across the width of Kunark and are home to a variety of Kunark's races.

The Kromdul have established settlements throughout the mountain range, as have small bands of the Mountain Death tribe of goblins. The Mountain Death tribe mines of Droga and Nurga reside in the northwestern peaks. Beside the Kromdul and goblin threats, the Sarnak have moved into the region in hopes of claiming the mines of Droga and Nurga for their own nation.

The Kromdul once controlled nearly all of the mining resources in Kunark, until they were unwittingly used as pawns in Venril Sathir and the Ring of Scale's battle for control. Now the giants hold but a small, well-defended fort, high in the mountains guarding the entrance to what is still one of the greatest mines in all of Norrath.

It is common knowledge that the Sarnak and the Mountain Death Clan have upheld a vicious, brutal rivalry for centuries over the mines of Kunark. This opposition between these two bitter racial enemies is not expected to expire until one society has been completely subdued or destroyed beneath the might of the other. The goblins do not actively target and attack Sarnak outposts and camps in the area, while the Sarnak are more war-like and direct in their attempts to violently rend the mines from the clutches of the goblins.

The Di`Zok royal family of the Sarnak nation is known to pay handsomely for solid proof of goblin slaughter. Adventurers who are brave, or perhaps foolish, enough to trust the uncertain loyalties of the Sarnak may find themselves outfitted with magical equipment from the Di`Zok collective if they are able to prove themselves worthy.
