Beor Mountains
« Thread Started on Dec 18, 2006, 7:53pm »

The Beor Mountains are the tallest mountains in Alagaësia, over ten miles high. They are located southeast of the Empire, across the Hadarac Desert. The Beors are rather steep, have vegetation only at their bases, and are almost maze-like with valleys and crevices. Beneath these mountains the dwarves have created large cities, the greatest being Tronjheim. The dwarves believe within these mountains they were created out of the living granite by their god, Helzvog.

The region has five species unique to it. Among them are the Feldunost, large goats that the dwarves use for steeds; the Beors, enormous bears; and the Nagra, gigantic boars which the dwarves find to be a delicious dish, though they are rarely hunted since they are so vicious.

Eragon attempts to fly up one of these mountains on Saphira, but as they climb higher the air begins to thin. Eragon tries to tell Saphira to fly back down, but suffering from oxygen deprivation she is unable to understand him. Eventually Eragon passes out and Saphira, understanding something is wrong, turns back. Upon regaining consciousness Eragon realizes the value of knowing about the lack of air when fighting another Dragon Rider.
