Howling Mountains

The Howling Mountains is the first zone players encounter on their journey in Taborea. Surrounded by spiky mountains, the Howling Mountains is home to lower class demons and various wildlife. Humans settled in these mountains, not hearing howling, but later on some start to hear it (such as Daisy of Logar hearing an enormous newt inside of Moongorge).
