After a grueling hike through the bitter cold, you reach the highest peak in Syrnia.

You turn around and take in the glorious view of the island and the vast ocean beyond. Snow covers the mountaintops as far as you can see, blown all about the area by the harsh winds.

As you observe your surroundings, you keep a close eye out for motion in the distance, as this mountain is home to many dangerous creatures. You notice a large cavity in the side of the mountain, as well as the Rima Scout Barracks a bit off to your left.

You've heard tell of an expansive gold mine atop the peak; some miners have even sworn to have found more than just gold under certain conditions...

You notice a small path winding out of the city and toward the mountains.

Standing at the base of Mount Tirnus, you suddenly feel quite small as you crane your neck upward and shield your eyes from the beating sun.

The snow blanketing the ground near the peaks exists in stark contrast to the rest of the island. One should think twice before attempting to use a horse to make the ascent.
