Gates to the East

The Gates to the East is a mountain range that divides the world into what is considered East and West. To the East lie the Eastern Wastes, and further, the Shou Empire. To the west lies Altathair, and various other nations and settlements. The mountain range itself encompasses numerous mountains, many of them reaching over 10,000 feet in height.
The Gates to the East are lightly inhabited. The major inhabitant of the Gates to the East would be the Tarrasque, that lies slumbering in it's lair. Many Orc tribes inhabit these mountains as well, though most seem to be oblivious to the fact that they share their home with the Tarrasque. According to the legends of the barbarians of the Eastern Wastes, Yeroban, is imprisoned in the Gates of the East. As a result, they give the mountains a very wide berth, and consider them dangerous, unlucky, and inherently evil.
