Broiling Mountains
Continent: Drentae (South)
Terrain: Mountain
Major City: N/A

At the far southern tip of the continent of Drentae, lie the Broiling Mountains.  Due to their location, so far from civilization, and their dangerous nature, they are not well explored or mapped.  Still, they are often assumed to be the highest mountains on the continent, second in the world only to the Mountains of Purity.

These tall and jagged peaks are a bulwark against the strong storms that come raging northward off the Boiling Sea, rare but nasty.  These storms seem to have stripped any dirt from the mountains, making it nearly impossible to grow anything in amongst these elevations, especially on the southern faces.  Mixed into these rough highlands are various volcanos and chains of volcanos, making the region even more dangerous than it would have been on its own.

The Broiling Mountains have shown deep deposits of copper.  There are also minor deposits of tin and lead that are often combined with the copper to form brass and bronze alloys.  Further, in the northern portions of the chain there are ample iron deposits, which the locals mix with imported charcoal to make their steel.

With temperatures often soaring to 120°F, this region is dangerous to most peoples, even before they begin risking their lives on the slopes.  This is the homeland of the trolls, including the dwarves, as well as several other races and ethnicities within the race.
