Shield Peaks

A mountain range in the northern part of the Kingdom of Nandorwin. It is so named for its role as a natural defensive barrier. They are home to many mines that enrich the kingdom, and have led to many cultural and scientific achievements for the people. Long wooded areas stretch along the bases of the mountains forming the range, so fuel for the forges is never too far away.

The Peaks have previously served as a natural barrier between Nandorwin and the Iron Realm of Kharamunz, back before the two countries were on friendly terms. During their ancient conflict, Nandorwin seized the land beyond the Peaks in conquest before failing to cross the Undam Pass. Eventually both countries agreed to a peace treaty, but the Dwarves of the Iron Realm chose not to ask for the conquered land back.
