Giant's Run Mountains

The Giant's Run Mountains are a range of mountains west of the Vilhon Reach in the Shining Plains. It was an outpost for the gold dwarves as of 1372 DR.

Geography
Within the range lies Mount Dodild, beneath which the city of Cairnheim is located.

History
According to dwarven legend, the mountains were named after a battle near the end of the Giant Wars known as the Fall of Karlyn's Vale.

By 1369 DR, the Twisted Rune had placed a magical gate in the area to allow for instantaneous movement to other locations.

Inhabitants
As well as goblins and ogres, the emerald dragon Behrshimmer made its lair in the range. At least one mine in the mountains was abandoned when tunnels breached the Underdark, releasing drow, illithids and worse into the area.
