The Cage is a major mountain range in Abanir and Rovakhit separating the dry, harsh, and often cold Uxtamazata Desert from the nearly endless grasslands of the Aban Steppe. The mountains have a reputation as being nearly impassible, their tall snow-capped peaks reaching high above the largely flat lands that surround them. Travelers along routes like the Hundred Days Road take long detours specifically to avoid needing to traverse the Cage; the range has a reputation for swallowing those who attempt to journey through it, as most who attempt to find passage never return.
Along with Mhakan's Trials, the Akinak Mountains, and the Solar and Lunar Ranges, the Cage forms part of the long chain of mountains that define eastern Abanir by separating the Uxtamazata Desert from the rest of the world.
