The Southern Mountains

Geography
As the name implies, The Southern Mountains are nearly entirely comprised of gigantic mountains and treacherous peaks and valleys. The silt and clay of the higher terrains varies from shades of red (lower to the earth) to black (higher in the air). Both highs and lows of the Southern Mountains are densely populated with wildlife, such as rams, wild horses, and direwolves - making it an incredibly popular region for hunters looking for a particularly perilous kill to boast about.

Population
The Southern Mountains are largely populated by dwarves, halflings, and gnomes. The halflings and gnomes mainly keep to themselves in the lower valleys and middling hills, whereas the proud dwarves have seated themselves in the capitol city of Ashbrande. Not all dwarves reside in Ashbrande, however, as some have chosen a more rural lifestyle and prefer to live off the land.

The Fortress City of Ashbrande
Ashbrande, the capitol of the Southern Mountains, is a gigantic city not unlike the Crimson Mountain. Unlike its northeastern cousin, however, Ashbrande is nestled in between the two most treacherous mountains of the region - The Titans. Ashbrande has always been ruled by a King-In-The-Mountain, though in the last century the people of Ashbrande have agreed to lend their arms and resources to benefit the entire Isle of Rhodes by joining The Quadarch.

Leadership
Ashbrande has always been ruled by a "King-In-The-Mountain", which is currently a dwarf by the name of Olerl Runehammer. Olerl is the first of the Kings In The Mountain to pledge his support to The Quadarch only a mere century ago, making the Southern Mountains the last of the Isle of Rhodes' regions to truly be a part of the union.
