Bleeding Spine Mountains

The Bleeding Spine Mountains stand between Immerstrad and the rest of Ascaria. The mountains themselves get their name from the foul ichor they "bleed." This blood can be harnessed in several inventive ways, but it often draws more monstrous races to it, including satyrs, goatmen, trolls, and orcs.

The tribes of the Spine are territorial, defending their land from those who may try to pry it away from them, but those who deride them as thoughtless primitives sorely underestimate the subtle power their shamans possess.

The Spine has also become a space for powers older than the world who seek a place of rest. These creatures may have fallen from true divinity, but some are still worth seeking out, for even a demigod's boon is better than no boon at all.
