The Mountain

 

 

Looking downward upon the most of Aevos, The Mountain and it's eminence look down upon the continent with majesty, and might. The Mountain and it's majesty pierced the sky's heart, the blood of clouds swirling in a neverending vortex upon it's invisible peak. The Mountaintop held mystery, as much as it did control of the meek continent.

The Leviathan, The Giant, The Emergence of Fate

 

The tallest point upon all of Aevos, The Mountain is a peak in the far north of the frozen wastes of Ailmere. It brushes one edge along the icy Bitter Sea, and another 'pon the valley of Ailmere. The mountain was snowed-in year round, with even ice growing over the harsh and jagged rocks surrounding the massive rock. The Mountain was ever shrouded in a storm of some kind, with tumultuous stormclouds swirling about the mountain top in an ever-raging storm. In the spring and summer, a deep red which brightly lit the night sky as if it were day bled from the mountaintop as the clouds shifted with seasons. In the colder months during autumn and winter, a blackened vortex swirled around the giant, full of anger and wroth.

 

The Mountain seemed as if it were the centre of the continent, all fates tied to the great rock. Lost travellers inadvertantly, no matter their place, ended up making their way toward The Mountain. Adventurers stricken with wanderlust who had taken to the sea would be pulled to it. From the Great Storm and to it's footsteps, adventurers would be dragged as if the very threads of fate were manipulated to bring them to it's place. Those caught within it's ineffable pull were doomed with cryptic visions and prophecies, ones which were always twisted in some manner to fit the pulled's own narrative. As if a method to cope, or make reason, of the inevitability of destiny.

 

The Mountain stands imposing upon Aevos, it's peak unreachable and obscured by heavy stormclouds which struck at those who dared to challenge it. It commanded gazes across the continent, visible for miles offshore as well as the storms and light that emanated from it's peak. Many have tried, and none have returned, of those who have attempted to conquer The Mountain. Those sorry souls caught within it's pull slave to fate, and surrendered to destiny.

 

When fate dawns in the twilight of armageddon, The Mountain and it's true purpose may unveil, it's grip upon Aevos thereon unforeseen.
