Ered Úmarth

A particularly dangerous part of the Ered Rhívamar was the cold and uninviting spur of Ered Úmarth, the Mountains of Ill-fate. Populated by ice-drakes and Snow Trolls, the cold, ice-covered peaks frowned down upon the warm, steaming valley of Evermist. The mountains were a trackless, pathless jumble of weathered, slick stones covered in moss and lichen. There were occasional sheltered valleys wherein grass and shrubs could grow, but these were few and difficult to reach.
