Boundary Mountain Range

**Boundary Mountain Range**ArchitectureHistoryRelationships

The **Boundary Mountain Range** is a mountain range in Bahn Gaia that seperates the world of humans in the north, from the world of monsters in the south. It marks the beginning of Vida's Barrier, cutting off the southern end of the continent from the other gods.[?]

## Geography

It consists mostly of devil's nests and is a treacherous place to pass through, filled with powerful monsters. For this reason, it and the southern regions of Bahn Gaia are mostly unexplored lands. It's likely that none would accept a quest requiring them to cross it, no matter the reward. Even the renowned religious fanatic High Priest Gordan had to let the extermination matter go after Vandalieu crossed it.

Crossing the mountain range is very harsh. If you stay on the fringes of the devil's nests boundaries, you'll mostly encounter the weakest monsters present in the mountain range. But even then you'd still have to expect at least one dangerous attack against a larger monster once a day, such as a flock of rank 5 wyverns. Normal adventurers wouldn't even last more than a few days. That said, the monster attacks is also an opportunity to obtain fresh food. The only method to go across is to fly or use golems as makeshift steps. Both methods are near suicide if under rank 6.[?] It's also useful to possess Status Effect Resistance, because it prevents altitude sickness. Crossing the mountain range from Talosheim to either Orbaume Kingdom or Mirg Shield-Nation would take about 3 months.

Two tunnels runs through the mountain, allowing safe access to Talosheim. They are large enough for an army to march through, and long enough to be crossed in a matter of days. In the past, they were used as trading routes. The Mirg tunnel was forgotten after the first Talosheim expedition/invasion, while the Orbaume tunnel was collapsed by Princess Levia upon escaping. The latter would be difficult to repair even for 100 first-rate Earth Mages working together; Even with Golem Transmutation and a large Mana pool, it'd take several days. In fact, it'd be easier to dig a new tunnel altogether, though one would then be beset by underground monsters. "There was a story of a nation that had tried to dig such a tunnel several thousand years ago, only for monsters living beneath the earth’s surface to emerge and trample over the surrounding lands, leading to the nation’s destruction. The morale of the story was, don’t touch the mountain range." The tunnels were destroyed due to Vandalieu's influence.[?]

## History

The mountain range was created by Vida before she went to sleep to protect her races, requiring a large amount of mana, which is the reason why there's so many Devil’s Nests and Dungeons here.[?]

## Trivia

* The tunnels were created 100 000 years ago, probably by Vida.
* The Mirg tunnel were discovered by General Mauvid, based on an based on an ancient document detailing its location, which was probably given to him by the Hihiryushukaka Vampires.
