Azalei Mountains

The Azalei Mountains reside high above Verdalia on Elda Island. The elevation sets the mountains in almost perpetual winter, with snow, ice, and blizzards occurring almost any time of year.

Geography

The many steep cliffs and frozen waterways throughout the Azalei make traversing the terrain difficult for all but the most experienced explorers. Though many are eager for the challenge, few can scale the treacherous peaks and brave the harsh conditions without help.

“E1Q1: Of Snow and Mysteries” explores the Azalei Mountains’ dangerous terrain.

Fauna and Flora

During the hottest summer months, certain areas of the Azalei have been known to defrost, with rare flowers and herbs growing in these isolated mountain pockets.

Few creatures can survive the harsh conditions, or else camouflage with the snowy drifts.
