Grey Mountains

Jump to: navigation, search

The Grey Mountains are a mountain range in the Old World. They separate the Empire from the lands of Bretonnia. There are a few Dwarf settlements in the mountains, although they are far less wealthy than those in the World's Edge Mountains. The mountains have an evil reputation with the folk of the southern Empire. There are tales of the reoccupation of Blood Keep, the legendary home of a Vampire warrior order, and many storytellers delight in the tale of the bleak and forbidding Castle Drachenfels and the necromancer that once inhabited it.

Most passes through the Grey Mountains are narrow and dangerous, wide enough for small groups of men and horses, but little else. The larger passes are guarded by Bretonnian and Imperial fortresses. The largest pass is known as Axe Bite Pass. It is guarded in the east by the fortress of Helmgart and in the west by the castle of Montfort.

The northern tip of the mountains gradually declines into a hilly region called the Gisoreux Gap - the main route between the Empire and Bretonnia.
