Tannath Mountains
The Tannath Mountains form the southern range of the Dragonjaws, south of the River Umber, which flows from the heart of Thay past the Aglarondan fortress at Emmech. Tall and rugged, they form the bulk of Aglarond’s geographical defenses against Thay. They are considered unscalable by humanoids—especially the peak of Umbergoth at the easternmost edge—but wide passes flank them on both sides. To the west is the Tannath Gap, while the Shyvar Pass is wedged between the rest of the Tannaths and Umbergoth to the east.
The steep, bare slopes of the Tannaths are a discouraging prospect for most homesteaders. Little more than birds and mountain goats reside here. The most notable exceptions are the griffons that nest atop the highest peaks and the ancient fang dragon of Umbergoth.
