MITHICUS MOUNTAINS
The Mithicus Mountains, stretching north-south from beyond the utmost
edge of the Mithicus Province pass the outskirts of northern Frobozz,
divide ancient
Quendor from Kovalli and is the most-likely spot of Mount Matter-Horn.
This snow-capped range was originally known as the Gray Mountains. When
Pseudo-Duncanthrax conquered the Eastlands in the mid-seventh century
GUE, the Coconut Theory still abounded, prompting him to believe that
the newfound range on the opposite side of the Great Sea was one and
the same. Thus the Eastlands mountain range became known as the Gray
Mountains. When time proved this theory wrong, the Westland Gray
Mountains were renamed the Mithicus Mountains, as most of the
mountainous province is dominated by the high peaks.
The tiny hamlet of
Er is
nestled comfortably at the base of the mountains on their western side,
richly-endowed with animal
farms
Since
the the time of Platypus Transformation (circa 800 BE), when the
majority of the citizens of Mithicus altered into a breed of
intelligent platypi, the mountains have been home to a
thriving settlement of platypi who have fashioned a wonderful castle
within.
The
underground caverns beneath the Mithicus Mountains are rumored to
contain treasure of legendary proportions and a high concentration of
the grueish population. In 966 GUE, an ur-grue whom had made his lair
amongst these sunless cavities, horded the Coconut of Quendor for a day
before it was claimed by an unknown peasant.
