Finnmountain

Finnmountain is a fictional mountain range that features prominently in the folklore and mythology of the region known as the Sunken Isles. These tales describe Finnmountain as a place of immense spiritual significance, said to be the dwelling of ancient deities and spirits. The highest peak, Mount Cinder, is often depicted as a place of both great beauty and perilous challenges, guarded by mythical creatures. Legends suggest that the mountains hold a hidden valley, accessible only to those deemed worthy, where rare herbs with potent healing properties can be found.

The Sunken Isles themselves are a collection of islands believed to have once been part of a larger continent that submerged beneath the ocean millennia ago. Finnmountain, as part of this lost land, is often associated with the origins of the islanders' culture and their deep connection to nature. Stories recount heroes and heroines who have journeyed into Finnmountain seeking wisdom, strength, or to appease the mountain spirits. These narratives serve as moral lessons and explanations for natural phenomena observed in the region. Despite its mythical nature, the concept of Finnmountain remains a powerful symbol in the cultural identity of the Sunken Isles.
