Mountains of Thundering Flame

The Mountains of Thundering Flame are a long chain of volcanic peaks in western Shiankar, running generally east-to-west and separating the Kar Bharaz from the Kar Kuzul. The easternmost spur of the range extends to the southern edge of the Kar Kadash.
Many of these peaks emit smoke and ash either intermittently or constantly, and violent eruptions are not uncommon. The terrain is rugged in the extreme, the climate is arid, and even the floors of the deepest valleys are at a substantial altitude, meaning that the region’s overall character is that of a high, barren, and mountainous volcanic desert. This is a land lying beyond the frontiers of civilized human kingdoms; much of it is only sparsely populated by a small number of the Daare Karsha, tribes of giants and savage humanoids, and other more monstrous denizens. However, the western ranges of the Mountains of Thundering Flame (which are less violently eruptive than those to the east) is home to the dwarven state of XXXXXX.
