The Karplusan Mountains are the forested mountain range of central New Argive, one of the Terisian Isles.

Descripion[]

The Karplusans are a range of tall peaks, ridges, and ranges, with few passes between them. The mountains are the home of the aesthir, giant birds of prey that can be used as flying mounts when trained properly.

History[]

During the Ice Age of Dominaria, the former Sardian Mountains were covered with ice. As the Sardian dwarves were long gone, the old name faded, replaced by the term Karplusan Mountains.[1] During the Ice Age, the Karplusans were heavily frozen, and formed the border between the two warring nations of Kjeldor and Balduvia.

Darien's Roost was the first Kjeldoran outpost allowed in the Karplusan Mountains, built during the peacemaking between Balduvia and Kjeldor and the formation of New Argive. During the Thaw, this location became known as Epityr, taking after an old term found on the ancient Tablet of Epityr. Other locations within the Karplusans are Tarnish and Elbreth. Although the Ice Age has loosed its grip, the tallest peaks of the Karplusans are still covered in snow year-round.[2]
