The Petral Mountains

The Petral Mountains are a mountain range between Eura and Zhong. It is uninhabited, as no humans have lived there for a long time.

Description

The mountains are described as chilly and windy, though not always cloudy. In the foothills, there are thickets and brambles. The mountains are jagged and low, and higher up there is much more wind and less vegetation. Inside the basin, the wind is sharp, and there are only a few small bushes with only a few leaves. The soil is thin and pebbly, with large stones covered in green moss. Takoda describes it as pretty. The bottom of the basin is densely wooded with pine trees and full of bushes, with a few dim, scraggly trails full of upturned roots and fallen trees. It hides the doorway to Sadre and the ruins surrounding it.

In the Books

Immortal Guardians

Takoda, Kovo, Olvan, Conor, and Meilin travel to these mountains to find a sketch that Kovo drew in charcoal (a fanged jaw-shaped doorway). According to a book located in a secret room of the Greenhaven library, the sketch is located in the Petral Mountains.

The Greencloaks set out and find an abandoned city that had been abandoned for a long time. Evidently, the people who inhabited the city didn't want anyone to find the jaw-shaped doorway, as they surrounded the door with a trapped moat. When the Greencloaks enter the room behind the doorway, the tunnels start to collapse because Kovo had broken the door that had stabilized the rocks.

Trivia

• The mountain range is not mapped or spoken of in any other books.

• Meilin describes the mountains as “a moose-y kind of place.”

• Even Briggan, a wolf, struggles to travel through the mountains.
