Names
Edit
This vast mountain range was known by both names depending upon the area or historical record. It dominated the entirety of the Dragon Clan provinces (who refered to their own portion of the range as the Dragon Mountains), as well as those of the Badger Clan, and occupied portions of the Ox and Phoenix Clan holdings as well. The mountains of this range are higher than the Spine of the World, and generally colder as well. Beyond the Great Wall are vast steppes, occupied mainly by the various Yobanjin tribes who fled the Empire at its formation. North and west of that laid the vast desert known only as the Burning Sands.[1][2] The Dragon and Phoenix, maintained a steady northern vigil there. [3] The Northern Towers of Flame were built in the Dragon Mountains as defense against yobanjin attacks, allied with Chosai, the Dark Oracle of Fire. [4]
