Azerlisia Mountains

**Azerlisia Mountains** (アゼルリシア山脈) are a range of mountains that act as the natural border that separates the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire.

## Background

The mountain range lies between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire. At the southern tip lies the Great Forest of Tob; within its earthern halls lies the Dwarf Kingdom. In a way, the Great Forest of Tob covered the Azerlisia Mountain range’s southern foothills and to the north of the forest lay an enormous lake. The village of the Lizardmen was located at the base of the Azerlisia Mountains range.

While so, the Frost Giants and the Frost Dragons were the apex predators of this mountain range. Therefore, they had struggled for a long time to determine who was the top dog. A total of 80,000 Quagoas that hailed from the Azerlisia Mountains range were divided into eight clans, all of whom were united under the Clan Lord. Due to having little in the way of technology or civilization, they were ranked among the lesser races within the Azerlisia Mountains.

Ainz had managed to lead a diplomatic envoy to the Azerlisia Mountains in order to try to establish official trade relations with the Dwarf Kingdom that lies beneath the mountain range.

As a result of both the Sorcerer Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom fulfilling their side of the agreement, a trade route was soon successfully established between the Azerlisia Mountains and Carne Village, using the Frost Dragons as a means of air travel.

## Layout

During nightfall, it was said the frigid mountain winds granted ice damage to those with body heat. Anyone without cold resistance or thick woolen clothing would feel as though they were being pricked by needles. This was probably because the wind had blown across heaped piles of snow and brought the cold air down the mountain slopes. Based on one of the Quagoa's conversation, there was bound to be heavy snowfalls around this mountainous region.

There also exist dangerous mountain roads in this location along with aerial ambushes from all sorts of monsters that trap traders. Hence, few dwarven trade caravans are not allowed to set off beyond the Azerlisia Mountains. They cannot carry too many goods due to the fact that the steepness and danger of the mountain paths which is disadvantageous to them.

Additionally, numerous ore veins lay dormant within the Azerlisia Mountains. The Dwarf Kingdom apparently seems to be in possession over some of those ore mines there. Prior to the Quagoa's subjugation by the Sorcerer Kingdom, they were the kind of race who wanted to acquire potent ores to bolster their kind's power.
