The Pike Mountains are a mountain range in western Thadria. Though Viridia claims the entire territory of the mountains, split between the provinces of Penmaerd, Talliastu, and Ertan, they are today largely controlled by the orcish breakaway nation of Hkarzda.
The Pike Mountains are less rugged than the Karn Andur to the west, yet they remain difficult to travel. Despite their close proximity to the large population centers of western Thadria, many infrequently-contacted communities continue to exist in the mountain range, hidden in isolated valleys. Many prefer it this way - the mountains are known as a safe haven for those who have gained the ire of the criminal underworld around the Bay of Ertan.
