Lingtren

Lingtren is a mountain massif in the northern highlands of the continent of Seridia. It spans roughly 60 kilometers in length and rises to elevations around 3,800 meters, with a central peak named Aorund Peak. The range serves as a climatic barrier, catching westerly storms and producing a drier eastern slope.

The massif is composed mainly of metamorphic rocks with pockets of granite and limestone, and extensive glaciation has left cirques and several alpine lakes in its high reaches.

The ecosystem includes alpine meadows and conifer forests at lower elevations, with several endemic species such as the Seridian snow hare and the blue-limbed lichen. Conservation areas protect migratory bird routes and high-altitude habitats, while ongoing monitoring tracks climate-related changes.

Human activity in the Lingtren region centers on seasonal shepherding through the passes and, more recently, ecotourism and mountaineering. Small hamlets provide basic services, and there are limited mining rights near the base of the range.

Historically, Indigenous communities navigated the passes and maintained ritual sites within the mountains. In modern times, Lingtren is a destination for guided treks and scientific research, and local festivals celebrate mountain winds and snow patterns.

Protected status includes portions designated as a national nature reserve, with restrictions on development and mineral extraction to preserve ecological and cultural resources.
