To say that the continent was mountainous was an understatement. The mountains were vast, tall, and numerous. They seemed to cover the entire surface of the continent and sit atop each other as if they were crowding each other to gain a specific position within their particular chain or be the one to actually touch the upper realms of the sky.
Nine mountain chains crisscrossed the continent each with their own specific mix of minerals and ores. Where they crossed valleys, small congregations of hills, meadows,
lakes, grasslands, and even a vast desert were formed.
Two of the valleys that Calmar spoke of were at such junctions. One was on the southern edge of the continent while the other was on the northern edge. The third valley was on the southern edge not too far from the first valley. These two were connected by two ancient roughly hewn mountain roads.
