Godfell Mountain sits in the middle of a crowd of high mesas, amid arid countryside peppered by meager lakes and sparse forests. This peak marks the richest essentia mines on the continent. Though it's not the center of the world as the stories say, it's the hub of a region filled with newfound wealth, industry, and an ever-expanding network of dusty towns run by crooked sheriffs.
The numerous veins of essentia running from Godfell Mountain come from the power of Kudamat, the First Doom, a Forgotten God seeking freedom and the destruction of the entire Mortal Realm. As these makeshift towns follow the veins of crystal ever closer to Godfell, they move toward the blighted earth the New Gods left to keep mortals from the prison of the ancient god. This mountain is a desolate and dangerous place where few can survive, but that doesn't stop powerful mining operations and bold prospectors from trying their luck.
Some communities are bold enough to live where others will not — on Godfell Mountain itself. Though it is dangerous, desolate, and blighted, the mountain yields the richest essentia for those willing to risk everything.
