Icespire Mountains

The Icespire Mountains are a small range on the Thracian Peninsula. They are located to the north of Westpoint, on the southern shores of the Bay of Benin. Beneath and within the mountains lie deposits of coal, copper, gold, lead, silver, and zinc, of varying sizes. Because of these ores, the mountains have been mined periodically by different groups.
The most notable residents of the Icespire Mountains are the many Frost Giants who make their homes on the mountains as well as the abandoned mines within and below them. More innocuous residents include mountain goats, mountain lions, black bears, snow hares, mountain toads, and mountain trout, in the rivers and lakes that dot the peaks. The mountains are home to various high-elevation and cold weather plants, such as blue columbine.
Though the mountains are covered in snow year-round, they receive little snowfall, annually. Instead, most of the snow and ice on the peaks are permafrost. Just as the Twin-Peak Mountains block colder temperatures from Castle Blaze, the Icespire Mountains block colder temperatures from Westpoint, though the settlement is still frozen most of the year.
