Akanapeaks

The Akanapeaks were a mountain range in Chessenta, forming its historical western border.

Geography
The range ran south by the western side of the Akanamere. The range was home to the tallest mountains in Chessenta, second only to Mount Thulbane. The Gap of Reth was the only known pass through the mountains. Through it ran a trail linking Reth and Airspur.

Inhabitants
Once, the range was home to dwarves, who dug mines into the mountains over 1600 years before Dale Reckoning. These are later abandoned.

By the mid–14 century, the large Flaming Spike orc tribe lived on the western slopes of the Akanapeaks and in the old dwarven mines.

Many predators of the Nunwood on the western side in Chondath were driven eastward into the Akanapeaks.

Locations
The Gap of Reth was blocked by a wall to guard the nearby city of Reth from invasion. A gate ran through it to admit traffic, but the pass and gate separated Reth from the rest of Chessenta.

Iron was mined here in the safer parts, and this supplied the nearby city of Reth and other parts of Chessenta.

History
In the Rotting War, in the, the army of Reth crept through the foothills of the Akanapeaks behind the Nunwood to attack the armies of Arrabar and Hlath.
