Mountain of Repetition

The Mountain of Repetition is in the Silver Mountains far to the north of Alivast.

## Background

The Mountain of Repetition, also called The Seat, is one of the more interesting and wildly dangerous places on the whole of the continent, with proximity to Lebreaus Village, the Dragon Cult, a Hag, and the Blood Axes right at the foot. Few if any have ever made their way up into the peaks of the Mountain, and none have returned in quite a long time. It is a deeply unusual place, as there are no natural fauna that live in, on, or around the mountain itself, and natural fauna that comes too close becomes enormously distressed and will attempt to turn around when going near the lowest possible cave entrance. As a result, the Mountain can be unsettlingly quiet.

The Mountain's most defining feature is a deep, loud, booming tone that can be heard from quite a distance off that occurs once every hour. The Blood Axes believe that it is the mountain's heartbeat, and that the mountain is alive. It is generated by The Pendulum, an enormous clockwork pendulum high up in the Crater that strikes a tone every hour. The caverns of the mountain themselves are generally devoid of life, and appear to be patrolled by constructs made in the image of animals.

The top of the mountain has a deep crater what was the actual point of impact where Oreyara came crashing to earth. There are in fact "Silverscale" kobolds (who are actually a bright white), who live as a society of builders and tinkerers in service to Oreyara and live in harmony with their construct creations.

### Notable Locations:

* **The Pool of Blood:** A pool of congealed blood with an incalculable amount of skeletal bodies around it that terminates in piles of bones.
* **The Catacombs:** A series of trapped tunnels that exist as a repository for failing or rejected constructs, with several dead zones designed to automatically snuff out magical energies, presumably of any construct attempting to return to the peak, and abandoned laboratories where the power sources of constructs were previously experimented on. It also appears to house portals to Oreyara's realm.
* **The Crater:** A climate controlled paradise-city of technological and magical development overseen by the "Silverscale" Kobolds, who have created a near unreachable city towards the very top of the mountain.
* **The Pendulum:** A colossal, impossibly detailed, and perpetually swinging contraption that lies at the heart of the mountain and apparently goes from the Crater all the way up to the Peak. It is navigable by it's surface thanks to it's intricacy, but it a treacherous climb; as the pendulum requires an absolutely incredible amount of muscle or wits to stop in order to clamber onto in the first place, and the air becomes thinner the closer you get to the top. Very few, if any, have ever been recorded as making it without help from Robald.
* **The Peak:** The Peak of the Mountain of Repetition appears to be made of pure silver, which is half-true, as the peak is in fact entirely mechanized gears and machined smooth silver, which appears to control the Pendulum underneath. On a great hill lies **Robald**, a Silverscale Kobold who has entirely mechanized himself, and a grandfather clock that appears to hold great power.

## History

The Mountain of Repetition was where Oreyara landed on the material plane and why it is referred to as The Seat, or Oreyara's Landing by some.

Prior to this cataclysmic event, the mountain was home to a rather ordinary culture of white kobolds with small ears and prominent horns that were ruled by a red dragon named Cindersnarl. Oreyara's impact killed the dragon, and the kobolds (understandably) shifted their allegiance and worship to the downed goddess.

The native Silverscale Kobolds brought her in, and repaired her using their impressive technical know-how, and were subsequently blessed.
