Skyrock Mountains

The Skyrock Mountains were created by Oton early in the first age. They were large slabs of solid granite which fell from the heavens. The great slabs were molten when they first fell, causing the stone to "flow" when it met with the ground around them, giving each of them a far more uniform appearance than a traditional mountain chain. They also, as they are solid rock, have relatively little life on them, and form an intimidating barrier to most animals.
