Mount Razorsong: Shrouded amidst the snowy cliffs between Crystalsong Forest and the Storm Peaks lies the lair of the dragon, commonly named mount Razorsong: an extremely high mountain which dominates the mountainous regions around it. The mountain range extends for several miles and surround the peak as an impenetrable defense. Any grounded traveller that wishes to climb towards the peak, incapacitated by the mountains, can take a single pathway which leads, from the base of the montain, towards an evergreen forest, perpetually frozen by the cold atmosphere. Around, an attentive eye may spot several animals: from elks to rabbits. Gaunt exemplars of worgs may occasionally patrol the area, looking for food, albeit it would be wise not to anger these animals. As height rises, the vegetation becomes sporadic: with the exception of a few bushes, a land of ice and snow is everything that a mortal man can find. Any attempt to prosecute without flying is close to impossible. The true challange, in fact, is climbing: the ground is almost upright and the very snow appears to conspire against any traveller. The deep snow may very well cause an unprepared traveller to sink within and never be seen again. The wind itself acts as a disheartening foe, howling costantly and raising piles of snow from the ground. Only a stubborn and capable climber can reach the peak of the montain. The lair has been placed right below the mountain's peak, on a big plain. The neverending wind does invoke a majestic sound of strenght, power, solitude. The plain itself appears being prey to the strong winds as they continuously affect the surrounding rocks and raise large mounds of snow which quickly disperse in the air. Ancient ruins that predate the blue dragon's arrival can be seen as they emerge from the snow, perhaps the renmants of a fallen titan tower. At such an altitude it would be unlikely to spot any vegetation, nonetheless lonesome groups of trees still grow, partially defended by the very ruins of the tower, around the plane, struggling for survival against the oppressing natural agents. Furthermore, three caves can be seen: a smaller one, empty but for a few crystals that have been growing on the side walls, a bigger one, which exudes a strange light (aswell as noise) and a massive cave, known as the Frostmaw Lair.
Frostmaw Lair: As if the mountain wasn't imposing enough, the frostmaw cave is immense. The floor is made of frozen stone, albeit not slippery at all. The vast space appears unused but for countless piles of small rocks that can be found on the ground. They appear partially scattered, as if their original purpose has been neglected. Few spots are safe from the ubiquitous grasp of the wind, which resonates throughout the whole cavern. The cave has not been crafted by an intelligent creature, but likely is the product of natural agents such as the wind itself. From the opposite side, an aperture can be noticed: it gives up to the mountainside with an extremely upright slope. During the evening most sources of natural light do vanish and the entire cave becomes overshadowed. Inside the cave, interestingly enough, the wind comes from several directions as entities imbued of armor and cold magic do fly near the upper walls. Their postures and their long axes clearly identifies them as guardians of the cave, perhaps created by the true inhabitants of the cave themselves. They do not look hostile nor aggressive. As if uninterested in any visitor, they float near the ceiling of the cave. These ghastly beings are wrapped up in a rather light armor which hosts several weakspots and a certain vulnerability. A capable diviner would be able to tell their illusory nature: these are not real guardians: rather, they are illusions summoned to discourage any intruder. Second Cave: -- Third Cave: -- The Device: Hidden below the vale, between small cliffs, this strange device was recently discovered. Intrigued by its obvious titanic origin, the dragons have made it subject of several studies. The device itself appears as a circular platform, made of three engines which triggers as magic is channeled within the device itself. His purpose is kept hidden by the dragons, as they hardly reveal of such a curious device. Inhabitants of the Frostmaw Peak:
