Episode Three: OOC
The mountains are home to numerous mountain and frost troll clans. There have been reports that the living Kallium eluded to of potential pca scouts there as well. No known status of an alliance. Crossing over the mountain unmolested is a 6 day journey on foot. No roads. Going around by vehicle would take a day and half given the terrain (without problems). Current PCA activity north of clan lands is unknown but likely, given the proximity to Cold Tower, their former home. Though...
All land north of the forest's midway point and South of the road belongs to the Firewyrm Clan (see map for approximate area). They actively patrol it, and it is considered self governed. Fildegarnian law does not carry over there. The clan is not known for killing on sight, but anyone on their land is stopped and questioned. Current territory boundary dispute with the Canopy Shapers is cease fire and on hold.
There are dwarven tunnels and a fortress under the mountain. Rumors of tunnels/roads that carry clear to the other side (Fildegarne Walled City) are common. Current status is locked tight since the war began (unknown if communication to the fortress is possible). Most dwarven regulars are dispersed into Fildegarian units. Travel time under the mountain by foot, 2 days, and 1 day by road if rumors hold true.
Communications with Fildegarne Walled City are still nil. Potential of heavy pca troop presence all around the outside of the city: extremely likely.
