A-Ling Shan

A-Ling Shan was a mountain range located in the Hordelands.

Geography
This mountain range divided the southern portion of Raurin from the Katakoro plateau.

Description
Several notable glaciers, including the Shigatse glacier and the Glacier of the Dragon, were found within the A-Ling Shan range as it was part of the great Yehimal Mountains.

The mountain range was mostly unexplored and unsettled, and only a single pass, Yarlhang La, opened through it.

The frozen peaks of this range, most notably the Mahamsaratsu Shan, reached high into the sky. Most reached elevations between 17,000 - 24,000 ft. (5200 - 7300m). Lakes from glacial run-off formed at the base of the mountains as melting snow and ice was trapped by rocky depressions. Flash flooding was a known danger in the region.

Inhabitants
Yetis and different types of dragon were known to make their homes within A-Ling Shan, and raided the nearby land for food.
