===The Eight Peaks Themselves=== This ring of towering mountains from which the hold is named after each have a varied history in the tale of this kingdom. The peaks will be discussed from the northern most mountains and working clockwise around. *'''Karagril''': The “Silverhorn”. This looming mountain was the primary sentry overlooking Death‘s Crossing, the mile wide stone bridge that leads through the Eight-Peaks towards the proper entrance at the East Gate. Now it has been converted by the Night Goblins into a mushroom addled fortress, where the Greenskins screen any and all who try to enter the Karak. And by screen, I mean pelting them with Spear Chukkas and Doom Divers. *'''Karag Lhune''': The “Crescent Mountain”. Its name comes from the slight curve the top of the peak has. Other than that though, it’s the least documented of the Eight-Peaks, as its particularly inhospitable climate makes any attempts to scale it by the dwarfs impossible, let alone try to reclaim it from the Greenskins. *'''Karag Nar''': The “Sunrise Mountain”. The easternmost peak from which the sun rises over every morning. At its base is one half of the East Gate, the main entrance for any outside force into the Karak. *'''Kvinn-Wyr''': The “White Lady”. It’s named so for its perpetual snow covered slopes and for being the most beautiful of the peaks (according to the dwarfs). It was the last of the Eight Peaks to fall in the original war, and few dawi would ever dream of letting its pale white cliffs be stained with grobi or thaggoraki filth. At its base is the other half of the East Gate, as well as a set of smaller lookout peaks called the Sentinels. *'''Karag Mhonar''': The “Shadow Mountain”. This angsty sounding rock formation is called so as it’s mostly in the shadow of its sister peaks. Perhaps this perpetual darkness is why it’s hotly contested by greenskins and dwarfs. *'''Karag Rhyn''': “Mount Redstone”. No it’s not the Minecraft mountain. This peak is called so for its oddly red colored rocks and clay composition. Its most important feature though is the secret narrow passageway into the surface city that was discovered by the dwarf ranger Grunfin Goldgatherer. This information was crucial to Belegar’s fourth and successful attempt to establish a foothold in the fallen Karak. *'''Karag Yar''': The “Sunset Mountain”. Every night the sun sinks behind this peak, earning its name. It contains the permanently sealed West Gate and another entrance to the deeps within the natural amphitheater, making this mountain a very sought after location for all three factions. *'''Karag Zilfin''': The “Windswept Mountain”. The largest and westernmost peak is the undisputed HQ of the Crooked Moon tribe. Craggy caves serve as dens for flocks of Wyverns, elaborate tunnel networks house the vast hordes of goblins, trolls, and squigs, and towards the top is a lone outcropping known as Skarsnik’s Lair. It’s the eponymous warlord’s private quarters where he can stare down at Belegar’s precious Citadel and hatch new and more devious schemes to cement his rule. Presumably Gobbla has a bed up there made of cured Skaven fur and scalped Dwarf beards.
