Skilgar's Range

Skilgar's Range is a range of jagged mountains which legend says were created by the Ancient Titan Skilgar in order to defeat his wicked father Bolrag. Their creation is described on the Tablet of Skilgar which is part of the legendary Henge of Resmir, the exact location of which is now unknown, however the story on the Tablet of Skilgar has been passed down orally. The legend states that the mountains were created as part of a trap to kill Bolrag. The range was crossed by the Princes of The Old Kingdoms, after The Devastation.

The Tablet of Skilgar
The Tablet states that Skilgar wished to free the Ancient Titans from the tyranny of of Bolrag who wished to control them with laws, and an organised society, things which are abhorent to the ancient giant peoples. However, Bolrag far surpassed all in size and might. But Skilgar was clever. He crafted the jagged mountains as a trap. He cut of his mighty matted bear and hair and used his powers to carve it into a series of jagged points. Then he used what was left to build the hills which now cover the northern isles of Ruskarkia. Then, when the time came for their combat all Skilgar needed to do was hit Bolragw with one perfect hit, causing him to trip on the hills and fall onto the mountains. His weight, tripping over Ruskarkia is said to be what splintered its coastline creating the many islands. When he was pierced by the mountains his blood poured out to fill The Stewarctic Sea, and his powers poured out with it, creating the cold and viscious weather of the region, often referred to as Bolrag's Revenge.

The Crossing of the Princes
During The Devastation, the war that destroyed The Old Kingdoms, many young Princes took their followers north over Skilgar's Range. The passing was far from easy. They slowly lost most of their belongings, leaving rune stones and tablets along the many winding passes as paths became to narrow and precarious to carry them. The Crossing of the Princes lead to a loss of much of the culture of The Old Kingdoms, the magical properties of the Runes was lost as the aged priests were not able to make the crossing or transfer their knowledge quick enough.
