Dragonback Mountain was a massive mountain found among the Riders to the Sky range that lay within the nation of Threskel.[1][2]
Description[]
The mountain was in fact a long-dormant volcano,[2] within which was a network of lava tubes and dug-out tunnels known as the Bone Tubes. These passageways were lined with the bones of of hundreds of long-dead dragons.[1]
Geography[]
It was positioned as the northernmost peak of the Riders to the Sky,[3][4] also known later as the Sky Riders.[5]
Inhabitants[]
Alasklerbanbastos, the Great Bone Wyrm of Threskel and Dragon King of Old Unther,[6][7] made his lair deep beneath Dragonback Mountain. He shared his domain with a grouping of brown, green, and blue dragons of varying ages, along with several lesser dracoliches.[1]
The mountain's depths were also home to the Mourktar cell of the cult of the Dragon, devoted supplications that dedicated themselves to the worship of the Great Bone Wyrm.[8]
