Lerion

Lerion is a mountain formerly inhabited by the gods where the "plaintive dawn-winds" are in fact their eternal sighs. In The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Lerion is described as the source of the river Skai. Surrounded by the forest of Parg, Mount Lerion rises seven and a half miles into the sky. It is riddled with goblin caverns, and the unwary or careless often disappear from its slopes. At one time, the ancient 'Ygirothians too dwelled in the clefts on Mount Lerion. Their city of 'Ygiroth still stands on the slopes of Lerion, and is remarkably well preserved.
Lerion is one of the peaks upon which the gods once dwelt. Sometimes, on moonlit nights, they travel there from their home atop Kadath in ships of cloud to dance upon its peak until the sun's rays gently herald the coming of dawn. Men know better than to disturb the revels of the gods, so no one dares climb Lerion's heights.
