Skyfire Mountains

Spiraling up from the nethermost core of Kunark, the peaks of the Skyfire Mountains tower over the Overthere and nearby Burning Woods. Forged from the incredibly active volcanoes in the region, this impressive range is strikingly similar in appearance to the Lavastorm Peaks. However, the peaks of Skyfire are nearly three times the mass of the Norrathian peaks and are inhabited by far more deadly creatures.

Pools and rivers of lava flow constantly through this region, creating an intense heat and eternal crimson veil to shade the soft blanket of steam rising from the fiery crevasses. The main lava river carves its way through the northeastern portion of the mountains. Flora is unable to flourish here, leaving but a gray, desolate wasteland of magma and jagged behemoths of stone.

The peaks of Skyfire are controlled entirely by the dreaded, infamous Ring of Scale – the dragon conclave that struggles to wrap its talons round Kunark and has been one of the driving forces behind Kunark's bloody, great history. Many structures that are of unmistakable dragon design can be found throughout Skyshrine, including three black statues cradling magical orbs in their grip as well as the gates to Veeshan's Peak, the home of the Ring of Scale.

Dragon kin appointed by the Ring of Scale patrol every inch of the Skyfire peaks. Beautiful, although extremely deadly, the variety of drakes, wyverns, and wurms are forces unto themselves. However, dragon kin are not the only creatures to reside comfortably in this area. A few younger dragons may be encountered, as well as the odd carnivorous gnawers.
