Official map of The Stormcrest Mountains in southeastern part of Tal'Dorei, by Rooksnook65.[art 2]
The Stormcrest Mountains cover much of southeastern Tal'Dorei separating into the Stormpoint Mountains on the southernmost portion.[2] The mountains are framed by Syngorn and the Verdant Expanse to the west, the Frostweald to the north, the Lucidian Ocean to the east, and the Dreamseep Marshlands to the south. Beyond the mountains lies land unbeholden to any government, called the Rifenmist Peninsula.[3]
