Atalisian Mountains

"Lo' and behold the Great Atalisians!" - Introduction to the Summer Festival Speech

The Atalisian Mountains, are a group of mountains that are part of the Alterac Mountain Range, located on the western boarder of the Midland Province in the Principality of Fjallidh. The mountains create a natural boarder that stops unwanted travellers from coming into the principality from Alterac. The Atalisians are divided into two, the Northern Atalisians and the Southern Atalisians.

The region is known for the Chalk Mountains, a small group of sharp mountains that line the banks of Lake Ri, they bare a likeness to that of chalk. The Chalk Mountains are safest part of the Atalisians to visit, and hike around. During the Summer Festival, a mountain climbing compaction is held there, however since the mountains are very dangerous to navigate through, only a few participate, the reward however is a purse of five hundred Fjallidh Gold Coins, and a medal of bravery, awarded to the victor by the Baron of the Midland.

The name Atalisian, is believed to have come from a name of a hero in Alteraci Paganism. Atalisi, was a pagan warlord, who was known for his vile nature and treatment to those who lived under his rule, so one day the gods condemned him to a life of poverty, and had wander around the world doing deeds for the poor and lame. Atalisi returned to his homeland, and became one with the wilderness. He is believed to have became the old oak tree that grows on the summit of the Highest Mountain in the Atalisian Mountains.
