Inhabitants[]
Humans were rarely encountered among these mountains, other than members of the Red Tiger tribe and merchants traveling from Sundabar.[2] Dwarves often traveled through these mountains in search of the lost dwarf strongholds of Delzoun and would treat strangers with suspicion, fearing they may be treasure hunters.[3]
In terms of giants, this mountain range was inhabited by frost giants, verbeeg,[10] and fog giants.[3]
White dragons commonly vied for dominion in this region.[11]
Rumors & Legends[]
Legends claimed that an ancient silver dragon roamed these mountains with his bronze dragon companion in the guise of an old hunter and his hound.[2]
