Running Rocks

These granite peaks form a spur of the mountains that define the High Country. The lower reaches have a few quarries and mines for copper and iron, but the rest of the mountains are avoided by normal Rashemi. The upper mountains have a mystical reputation and are thought to harbor violent spirits that dump rocks on visitors rather than accept offerings. As well, trolls and bheur hags plague the region. Unknown to most except the Witches, these mountains are the secret lairs of the vremyonni, or Old Ones, male Rashemi wizards who manufacture magic items for the Witches and train the young recruits in arcane magic. The caves of the Old Ones are well guarded by rare spells and sealed with great stone doors that require the proper magical command word to open.
