The Aphrunn Mountains were a mountain range forming the southern border of the republic of Turmish in the Vilhon Reach.[1] The mountains were visible from the island of Ilighôn on the other side of the Farshore Straits.[2] Lilit Pass allowed passage through the Aphrunn, connecting Turmish to the Vilhon.
The gold dragon Frizzerfraz made his home in these mountains.[3] A tribe of kobolds called the Scything Claw resided and in the Aphrunn and would occasionally raid into Turmish.[4]
Mount Kolimnis[]
There was an active volcano in the Aphrunn mountains called Mount Kolimnis.[1] It had the nickname of "Eversmoke" due to its volcanic activity.[5] In 1360 DR the wizard Danirro of Alaghôn, on the behalf of the nearby city of Gildenglade attempted to quell the volcano through the use of magic.[5] While he was in the process of casting a spell on the volcano, however, he was murdered by agents of the Emerald Enclave who threw him into Mount Kolimnis.[4] The Enclave then destroyed all remains of Danirro's research, warning others to not interfere with the volcano or other forces they did not understand.[5]
The volcano erupted and destroyed Gildenglade in 1423 DR.[6]
