Icy Peaks

Icy Peaks are part of the northern mountains range of Avalon 
== overviews ==
The Icy Peaks are the mountain range of northern Avalon, forming a rugged spine of ice-crowned summits that bisect the continent. Stretching for hundreds of miles, the Peaks rise up to over 5,000 feet at their tallest points. Rare trees of pines and firs occupy the lower slopes, sheltering clans (group of families) of hardy settlers who survive off hunting and fishing. Deeper into the peaks, gigantic yetis dwell solitary lives among snowdrifts and caves. During harsh winters, fierce packs of frost wolves roam lower terraces hunting smaller prey. The Icy Peaks surround the valley where Eldenbrook village sits, the northern horizon. Glacial meltwater streams rush from the mountains, irrigating Eldenbrook's farmlands before joining the swift mountain rivers. Sentinels from Eldenbrook maintain watchposts high in the Peaks, alert for threats like roaming packs of ice wolves. Sometimes mountain clans will trade pelts and game with villagers. Legends speak of lost gnome mines within the Peaks, though none have found them.
