Haunted Mountains

The Haunted Mountains is one of the biggest mountainous regions within Egion and is also rumoured to be haunted by the ghosts and spirits of people that never made it to Irion after they had passed away, some people also compare this area to be hell itself whilst other people who have actually ventured there have claimed to see ruins of what used to be a kingdom within the region dating potentially back to the founding years of the Empire.

Description
The mountain region itself is shrouded in fog and mystery with many of its 'inhabitants' being the Orcs who were not from there originally have now decided to live underground to avoid any contact with other races however the Orcs themselves primarily act as mercenaries and other forms of contractors now, aside from the mountain region the Orcs constructed a small town near to the mountains as a way of communications to any other race or faction and primarily live here as they rarely dare to enter the mountains.

History
This area of Egion was vastly unexplored for the majority of the first era by the Empire and since then has become the most mysterious part of the realm with it only being sort of surveyed thanks to the Orcs who were pushed out from Narakzund into the mountains, from here many Orcs would tell the tale of old ruins throughout the mountains claiming to be a former kingdom that was around before the Empire itself. Whilst many people tell this tale to be nonsense it is said that by many people who have ventured into the mountains they have spotted ruins and have uncovered signs of civilisation within this region dating back before the Empire was founded.
