Stonebrunt Mountains

The Stonebrunt Mountains are a vast zone on the island of Odus, home to the cat-people settlement of Kejek and various dangerous high-level creatures including giant Ancients.

Overview

Drawn from The Maps of Myrist zone description.EQ1Primary · official

The Stonebrunt Mountains bisect the continent of Odus with their high-reaching peaks. The lower altitudes of the mountain range are semi-tropical with bamboo and other thin trees atop a carpet of grass. The many small canyons and valleys that riddle the lower mountains teem with jungle foliage that is fed by the waters that flow from the peaks.

In the higher altitudes, tall peaks rise above the line of demarcation, reaching a sub-arctic climate. During the warmer seasons, some of the lower snow caps feed tributaries and streams that provide water to the jungles and eventually empty into the Vasty Deep and the Gulf of Uzun.

Kobolds often emerge from their subterranean Warrens to hunt in the jungles of the Stonebrunt for nourishment without fear of the Erudites that wage war with them on the western half of the continent.

The largest and tallest of the Stonebrunt Mountains is known as Mt. Klaw. In a sheltered plateau above the tree line on the snowcapped peak of Mt. Klaw is the kerran village of Kejeka. The kerran that inhabit Kejeka survived the mass exodus to Kerra Isle, forced by the arrival of the Erudites on the continent of Odus. The white-furred Kejekan have adapted to the high altitude and climate of Mt. Klaw and have no use for the sickly or weak.

The kobolds who hunt in the jungle valley stay clear of the high altitudes but they are well aware that there is a tribe of kerrans that makes its home somewhere on the high peaks. On the rare occasion that the kerrans and the kobold hunters do meet, violence typically ensues.

The Prophecy

In-game bookVerant/SOE

The Prophecy Before the beginnings of Kerran Civilization, each Kerran roamed their own territory as did the beasts of the wild. Soon the lands became too small to divide, and so four of the eldest Kerra journeyed to the very top of the highest peak in the Stonebrunt Mountains to seek out more land, one from each direction.
