Twinhorn Peak in western Thondia.

Twinhorn Peak is the largest of the Ursricht's Kill mountains. It served as the prison of Kragnos, the End of Empires, for aeons. Named for its high curving horn-shaped double peaks, the Seraphon used the mountain’s symbolic resemblance to the Earthquake god as part of the sympathetic magic that let them trap him within it. The mountain now bears a huge scar in its flank, where Kragnos finally emerged from his long captivity. Considering the length of time Kragnos was held, and the powerful magics involved, the few sages that know of it are now engaged in furious speculation about what insights might be gained from studying the former prison, as well as what power may linger within the stones themselves. Unfortunately, Twinhorn Peak has become a holy place to the followers of Kragnos, who now take pilgrimages here to fight for the Earthquake God’s favour. Between battling Orruks and the creatures that hunt across the Ursricht’s Kill range — with Maw-krushas, Ghorgons, and herds of depraved beastmen not least among them, any knowledge to be gleaned here will be hard won.[1a]
