The [[Vasnari Mountains]] are a long, jagged string of peaks that bisects the continent of [[Meropis]] from north to south. Once part of the mighty [[Vashnar Mountains|Vashnars]], a great unknown cataclysm sundered both the continent and its mountains from the land of [[Sapience]]. To date, only the northern Vasnari Mountains have been thoroughly explored. | The [[Vasnari Mountains]] are a long, jagged string of peaks that bisects the continent of [[Meropis]] from north to south.

The Vasnaris overlook the [[Notic Ocean]], beginning with their northern terminus on the rocky, jagged shores of Rageteeth Beach. The northern end of the mountains is dominated by the ruddy tip of Mount Azedh, and the volcanic peak attests to the turbulent geological activity of the grey granite landscape. Much further south, the spring known as Sypathean Falls guards the entrance to the [[Dwarf|dwarven]] mines of [[Iskadar]]. The lower passes continue southward to a massive set of steps known as the Aldar Stairs, and further south of this winds the great jagged span of Dragonspine Ridge. The charted Vasnari lands end at a narrow, winding valley, at the lowermost point of which lies the hidden entrance to the [[Mirror Caves]]. Enormously tall peaks, too high to fly over and too steep to climb, prevent southerly progress. | The Vasnaris overlook the [[Notic Ocean]], beginning with their northern terminus on the rocky, jagged shores of Rageteeth Beach.

A wide variety of aggressive wildlife manages to survive in the Vasnari Mountains, corrupted by the ancient power of the [[Tsol'teth]]. Legends tell of ancient [[lightning eagle]]s that once graced the Meropian skies, and the mountains are thick with [[jackdaw]]s, rabid grizzly [[bears]], disfigured [[mountain goats|rams]], and wild [[gryphon]]s. In the many caves that meander throughout the mountainside roost untold numbers of giant [[bats]]. | A wide variety of aggressive wildlife manages to survive in the Vasnari Mountains, corrupted by the ancient power of the [[Tsol'teth]].
