This week, a brief description of the mountains that border the march of Annan’s Port.  This is the range in which the Temple of the Earth Mother was built.  It’s a young range, still growing, and pretty rugged.  It’s home to all sorts of animals and monsters such as goblins, kobolds, and giants.

Read the post here: The Kältheim Mountains

I modeled the kobolds of Erde after one of the Germanic kobold types in fairy tales.  Erde’s kobolds are not lizard like, but canine.  They have doggish faces, pointed ears high on their heads, and short fur on their bodies. They are very family oriented, and fiercely territorial.

You can read more about these Germanic spirits on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold.

Have a great weekend, my fellow World Walkers.  May your explorations take you to ever more wondrous places!
