Map Details and Information
The Dragonmounts are an oddity in mountain range formation as no geological reason can be found to explain why the mountain ranges are shaped like the skeletal remains of some giant dragon of eons past. They were not created by volcanism, or techtonic plate movement as no volcanic peaks exist within the range and there are no major faultlines in the area. Map is pure fantasy as is a rough copy of an old Dungeons and Drangons map I drew some years ago when I had the roleplaying bug in the 80's-90's.

Map Type: Fantasy
Region map size: Map is configured for 154 large city tiles and is 11x14 in size.
