| From their northern boundary west of the [[Black Forest]] to their southern terminus west of [[Jaru]] span the expansive '''Vashnar Mountains''', the spine of [[Sapience]]. The Vashnars are arguably the highest mountain range in the known world, by virtue of the [[Pillars of Heaven]].
| | '''King in Majesty Barak D'Nichliz, Lord of the Undercaves''' and son of [[Lorack]], rules the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] of [[Blackrock]]. He became king after the untimely demise of [[Gringor]], the former ruler of the Dwarves, who oversaw the original construction of the mines. It is unclear what led the the death of Gringor, but some rumours suggest foul play on the part of Barak and his allies. |

| | Though a lifelong devotee of Sartan, the Malevolent, it was not until the 10th century AF where Barak's personal faith became widely known: in a dramatic wedding to [[Venasia Enverren]], Barak's union conjoined two [[Mhaldor|Mhaldorian]]-[[allies|allied]] nations under one rule. With nuptials blessed by [[Sartan]] Himself, Barak now styles himself as ''King in Majesty''. |

| ==Northern Vashnars==
| | [[Category:Blackrock Denizens]] |
| The '''Northern Vashnars''' are bleak indeed, their barren crags scoured of anything of interest. A path here winds and twists its way west toward the shores of the [[Sapphire Ocean]], and eventually the island city of [[Mhaldor]]. At the feet of the Northern Vashnars, in a cave within [[Yggdrasil]] lies the [[Flame of Yggdrasil]].

| ==Central Vashnars==
| |
| In the '''Central Vashnars''', [[bighorn sheep]] dwell, as well as territorial [[mountain lions]], the nightmare of every newbie who has ventured up into these lofty peaks. Also of note is the reclusive wizard [[Hycanthus]], esteemed [[Conclave]] member. [[Alp]], the Nightmare Siren makes her home here as well. Upon one of the highest peaks, one may find the [[Temple of the Sky]], the Vashnarian temple of [[Vastar]], the Skylord. A western pass through these perilous crags, discovered by [[Haidion]], the Wanderer, leads to the vast blanket of redwoods known as the [[Aalen Forest]], whlie another pass leads down into the lush [[Dun Valley]]. Atop this central section of the Vashnars are seated the Pillars of Heaven, upon which sits the [[Garden of the Gods]].

| ==Southern Vashnars==
| |
| It is in the '''Southern Vashnars''' that the highest peak in the Vashnar range, [[Mount Nicator]], which also serves as the gateway to the airborne island of [[Erymanthus]]. Also of note is the lesser mountain, [[Mount Karnoth]], which still stands out impressively from the surrounding peaks. The Southern Vashnars play host to a wide variety of wildlife. Mountain [[grizzlies]] and mountain [[drakes]] prowl here, preying on the bighorn sheep that are so common throughout the entirety of the Vashnar range, as does [[Grimlath]], one of the last snow-tigers. In the firmament may be found Vashnarian [[condors]] and, even higher up, [[lesser dragons]] may occasionally be seen to bank and turn in the sky above. On the southwest side of the southern Vashnars may be found a river of ice which leads to the [[Aeraithian Falls]], while to the northwest is the [[Help:Atavians|Atavian]] village of [[Genji]].
