Eukathom Mountains

The Eukathom Mountains are a small range located on Nilgoav Island. The mountains themselves are not very tall, or otherwise noteworthy, but they block the winds from the Great Ocean sufficiently to have caused the Opaleis Desert. The mountains are located on the northeastern perimeter of the island.
Geologically, the mountains are filled with large amounts of granite and quartz. Coupled with the temperature, this has produced mountains that are very dry and rugged, with very little flora or fauna. Only the strongest organisms live on the mountains, such as cypress trees, and bears. Goliath, during the summer months, live among the cooler caves and higher elevation of the mountains. The former city of Kella-Thus, which is now settled by the Dream Dwarves as the city of Khajadûn can be found in the mountains.
The most notable feature of the Eukathom Mountains are the deposits of dreamstone that can be found growing naturally within the mountains themselves. This magical crystal is found nowhere else in the entire world, and is special to the Dream Dwarves who live on the island, and use dreamstone to enter into altered states of consciousness where they are more powerful on the Plane of Dreams.
