The Tazak Mountains (pronounced tah-ZAHK) are a major mountain range in northern Stormlands, part of the series of ranges that divide the Storm-Path from the more verdant parts of the continent to the north.
In the higher elevations of the rugged Tazak Mountains, the climate is highly seasonal. Summers can be pleasant with warm if not hot temperatures, while winters are often bitterly cold. Despite the amount of precipitation the region receives, primarily in the form of snow that melts and feeds small rivers and streams come spring, vegetation is not as plentiful as might be expected, as the rocky conditions give plants few places to take root aside from in some of the valleys between the peaks. These act as small oases, beautifully verdant in the warm weather and a refuge for animals and people alike when the cold returns.
Aside from the small towns and villages of Tazak, and the aeon kings who rule them, the Tazak Mountains are largely unpopulated.
