The Flotket Alps are a mountain range in the north of the Greying Wildlands.
Description[]
The Alps are tall mountains with jagged peaks and spires that come to dangerous points, all coated in snow and ice, densely forested in pine.[1]
Notable locations[]
- Kravaraad: Kravaraad is a craggy black volcano with three drifting plumes of black smoke and little glowing streams of orange pouring from different positions along its side. At its base is a small basin or a lake, and the molten rock drifts down into it, exploding into steam as it hits.[2] Inside it is the Cinderrest Sanctum, also known as the Burning Lodge or the Kiln, home of the Dust family.
- Uthodurn: A mostly underground city of dwarves and elves.
- Mythburrow: In the eastern Alps, the cavern home of the ancient white dragon Gelidon, the Nightmare in Ivory.
Fauna[]
Beasts and other wild creatures that call the Alps home include wolves, dire wolves, winter wolves,[3] frost zephyr birds, wild white bison, giant goats,[4], remorhazes[5], wyverns[6] and frost salamanders.[7][8] Yetis are also known to inhabit the range.[9] Orcs from Boroftkrah and from the Rime Plains hunt the area frequently.[10] Various frost giant clans live amongst and within the mountains.[11]
Trivia[]
- At some point before 585 PD Ludinus Da'leth took notes about a special place deep in the northeastern side of the Flotket Alps connected to a fey bound to nature (perhaps a dryad). Although he had visited similar places in order to "feed the root" and empower a special harness with the magic of the area, he hadn't recorded the same for this specific location by the time Molaesmyr was destroyed (when he left behind his notes in his Gildhollow Tower).[12]
- In Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, the Flotket Alps are suggested as a possible alternative location to run the adventure, instead of using the world of Toril.[13]
