Raven's Peak



Raven's Peak is a tall, free-standing mountain that is roughly 7,696 ft. above sea level, located on an island known as the Shadowlands, usually covered in black clouds. The mountain is fairly barren of diverse flora, mostly Gibbonweed, but its rocky caves are home to several species of dragons, most notably the Black Crown. The summit of Raven's Peak is accessible from a treacherous foot trail carved into the left mountainside.

Wildlife
Home to one of the rarest dragons on the planet, the Black Crown, Raven's peak is also an ideal habitat for Hervus and Alsivus worms. Its many caves and slops attract thousands of Hervus birds annually for the nesting grounds and rich supply of Gibbonweed that grows along its shores in July.

History
Raven's Peak was first recorded in 1422, in the novel Vem Vales (translates to "a tale" in Valean) by Lucio Escaleo. In 1459, a group of sixty-five Valean explorers set out to reach the summit, well aware of the risks; all but one perished, and since then, the mountain has been a symbol of darkness and dread for several thousand years and is depicted in many stories, fables, and paintings, a landmark of the island and a constant reminder of what lurks within its boundaries.
