Howler's Peak

"it is said that all the way from the Catailian desert to the gulf of gold you can hear it. The shrieking wind coming from The mountain. It always sounds different. To some people they hear the mournful call of their fallen comrades, to others it is a cry for help from the untold masses of suffering in the world. No doubt about it, that peak is haunted. Beware adventurer, things are just different on the mountain" (Ranger's warning-Traveller's guide to Soi) Howler's peak is a natural rock formation in the northern Midlands of Soi overlooking the Family Hearth capitol. The area is known for an unusual amount of disappearances, violent thunderstorms, and a strange phenomenon in which it sounds like screaming descending from the summit. 
Due to unknown reason, when wind travels from the top down to the foot of the mountain, the sound of screaming can be heard. Explanations for this have ranged from mundane solutions of rock formations causing strange noises, to the more fantastical such as haunting, monsters, or secretive cults performing sacrifices. 
== The hilt of the mountain ==
"If you listen to the stone, you can hear them talking" (Pilgrim visiting the hilt of the mountain) At the exact summit of the mountain, there stands a large sword handle buried into the rock all the way to the hilt. The material, make, or origin of this item is currently unknown. The sword cannot be moved or pulled away from the stone and all attempts to have failed. The site was set to have a mining crew come in to excavate the sword to discover its origins, only to be blocked by a camp of veteran fighters from all corners of the world who see it as a holy site for pilgrimage. World weary soldiers are said to be able to find peace by visiting the hilt and have created somewhat of a cult following, with each new member attempting to draw the sword from the mountain as a ceremonial attempt at pulling the wounds from the world itself. 
The rock around it is heavily charred iron rich stone, and appears to be highly magnetic, attracting the lighting to it with great frequency. The sword pulling ceremonies can only be attempted on days of clear sky due to the intensity of these lighting strikes.
