Seikitsu Mountains (TCG)

Seikitsu Mountains , the Spine of the World mountains, were a thin range of tall peaks and treacherous passes that divided Rokugan in two. It run through Unicorn lands dow the Scorpion border with the Lion lands and them through Crane territory to the coast.

== Creation ==
The Air Dragon was taken by boredom, and they started playing tricks on the other dragons, particularly the Thunder Dragon. One day the Air Dragon imitated the voice of Onnotangu and demanding he come to the court immediately. The Thunder Dragon hurriedly went to the Celestial Court, but nobody else was there. The Air Dragon laughed, and the Thunder Dragon's anger was so immense that the earth below cracked open, and out of it sprouted the Spine of the World. Celestial Realms, p. 75
== Threats ==
The range served as the Yogo provinces' northeast border, which were plagued by monsters. Th�e northeast was a permanently unlucky direction and home to one of the two so-called Demon's Gates. It was why their castle had no northeast-facing windows or doors, and why the monks of the ascetic Penitent Order had built their temple to overlook the castle from that direction. The Yogo Curse 1, by Josiah “Duke” Harrist and Katrina Ostrander
== Beiden Pass ==
Only one mountain pass opened wide enough to allow an army through: Beiden Pass, which connected the Lion Clan's southern provinces to the northeast edge of Scorpion lands. Courts of Stone, p. 21
== Landscape ==
This mountain range had sheer, storm-buffeted cliffs on the east and raw, bladelike jaggedness on the west. It hosted a collection of goblins.
