The Mountains of Mourn were originally the homeland of the Sky-Titans and Dragon Ogres, though for thousands of years it has been controlled by the Ogre Kingdoms.

It is one of the most dangerous places in the world outside of the Chaos Wastes. Not only is every animal extremely deadly, the landscape is also very unstable and sometimes even sentient. As a matter of fact, the Ogres are probably the safest thing in the mountains, because you probably have to hire some as bodyguards if you want to survive.

Most people who go there are traders attempting to cross over into Cathay, although a few Dwarf expeditions go there due to rumors of there being a mountain

Places in the Mountains of Mourn

Ancient Giant Lands

In the eastern edge of the Mountains of Mourn are its tallest peaks. There the Sky-Titans of old dwelt in magnificent sky castles, only descending to tend to their herds of Mammoths. When the Ogres first migrated from their homelands in Cathay, they ended up in the Ancient Giant Lands first and thus began a campaign to kill and eat all the Sky-Titans. After rendering that race nearly extinct, they tore down all the sky castles too to add insult to injury.

Fire Mouth

The second most holy place to the Ogres other than the Great Maw itself, the Fire Mouth is the largest volcano in the Mountains of Mourn. The Ogres worship it as the bastard son of the Great Maw and the Sun, and have their own cult dedicated to it known as the Firebellies.

Mount Thug

Mount Thug is the most dangerous mountain to climb in the Mountains of Mourn, to the point where the Ogres to have its own malicious sentience. As such, the act of climbing Mount Thug is essentially the ultimate Ogre test of manliness.

The Granitetooth Graveyard

Every Stonehorn is doomed to slowly turn into stone as they die of old age. When this happens, they go to one of several "Stonehorn graveyards" to die, the Granitetooth Graveyard being the largest. Travelers sometimes come to this place as Stonehorns are known to contain precious gems within their stone skeletons. However, many of them find that some Stonehorns haven't fully become statues yet, and they don't like having their final moments interrupted...
