RAKDEN MOUNTAINS
The Rakden Mountains lie between the Sensu Forest to the east and the Rama Jungle to the northwest. The Slengath Swamp also lies just to the north of the Rakdens. The elevation of the Rakdens varies widely from about 8,000 feet to as high as 24,000 feet. As a result, travel through this mountain range is slow and extremely treacherous. The climate is equally unpredictable and can go from a sunny 70° to a bitter, snow-capped peak in the space of a few miles. The Arakai River has its source in the valleys of the Rakden Mountains . The Melkar mine these mountains extensively and have a city situated between the northern slopes and the Rama Jungle. This city is called Keid and was considered of extreme strategic importance during the conflict between the Phylans and the Tra’ Quil many years ago.
