Warhammer Misty Mountains

The Misty Mountain on the left-side of the Sour Sea

The Misty Mountain is a large mountain located west of the Sour Sea in the Southern World's Edge Mountains. The infamous Grom the Paunch and his Broken Axe Tribe hail from the region.[1]

South-east of the Sour Sea, a solitary peak known as Misty Mountain towers above the Worlds Edge Mountains, facing the cursed pit of Nagashizzar on the northern shore of the great inland lake. Despite the eternal darkness that hangs over the towering peaks, where once evils so harrowing that they shamed the gods were undertaken by the Great Necromancer himself, Misty Mountain teems with life. Here, Goblin tribes dwell in huge numbers, farming their twisted fungi in the warpstone-laden caverns that stretch from the foot of the mountain, far beneath the Sour Sea, raising Squigs of prodigious size and vicious temperament and warring eternally against the accursed denizen of Nagashizzar.

Trivia[]

The location is a reference to the Misty Mountains from J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit. Likewise, Grom the Paunch is likely inspired by the Goblin King from said-story.
