The Island Where The Mountains Transfix The Sky is a large island east of the Stormlands. It is inhabited by the Ganeta-Meru, the only Fanakaran people who live outside the Wounds. The island is roughly 270 miles across at its widest and 160 at its narrowest.
The titular mountains in the name of the island are the Cradle of the Clouds, whose peaks rise sharp and unnaturally high above the surrounding landscape. Covered in snow for much of the year, traversal through the mountains is exceptionally difficult, though the Ganeta-Meru rarely attempt such journeys regardless due to religious reasons.
