Vilkas Mountains

The Vilkas Mountains are a forested range in the country of Ursialla in Akroum. They are known widely to be an evil place, where nature has taken a dark and twisted turn for the violent. Like much of Ursialla, the people who live in the mountains' shadow in towns such as Carlsberg have a grim outlook on life, and take any momentary peace and lack of violent death to be an excellent turn of events. 
At the top of the mountain, in a cave usually shrouded in deep magical darkness, lies an echo of a mythical shadow wolf-creature, the heart of hundreds of fairy tales about deadly feral beasts that lurk in the dark woods. Slaying the echo grants the hero a silver axe that can slice through wood like paper, and thirsts for the blood of evil animals.
A secluded town, cut off from any outside contact, sits nestled in a valley in these mountains. The inhabitants are all cursed with lycanthropy, and murder any unwary traveller who stumbles into their secret abode.
