Geography

A part of the Southern Vashnar Mountains, Mount Piraeus towers over the Actar Valley. The path onto the mountain is accessible from the Great Southern Road. Flowing from the mountain's peak is the river Eridanos, which supplies water to the valley below.

Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Mount Piraeus are the cyclopes who dwell within the caverns of the mountain. Notable among them are:

• Arges, Chieftain of the Cyclopes
• Dora, a cyclops cook
• Hynes, the cyclops mechanic
• Steropes, the cyclops smith
• Themus, the cyclops shepherd

Culture

The cyclops culture is based around their almost paranoid need to defend against perceived threats from the outside world. To this end their home has been heavily fortified. Accomplished engineers, the cyclops have designed and constructed a functional sewer system and blademill, both of which draw power from the river Eridanos.

Flora and Fauna

Along the craggy peaks of Mount Piraeus roam rugged mountain lions and goats. The herb valerian can be found growing here as well. Deep in the caverns the cyclopes make their home, and both bloodroot and irid moss thrive in the subterrain environment. The river Eridanos hosts beavers and salmon as it flows down the mountainside, and kelp can be harvested from its waters.
