Karpash (Mountain)

From WikiAOC

Karpash Mountains:--- also called the Karpashian Range, this long, rugged range of the central Hyborian kingdoms, is an amalgam of several mountain ranges of differing ages. The eastern section, a spur of the Kezankian mountain range (misidentified in Conan the Magnificent), the Karpash range runs for hundreds of leagues along the borders of western Zamora and eastern Corinthia-Brythunia. The mountains in this area are composed of red and black rock that was pushed up over a million years ago. Although old and worn, there are many volcanic peaks in this part of the range, a few still active. There are a couple of volcanoes whose collapsed calderas have formed crater lakes, and hot springs are prevalent on the southeastern Brythunian side. There are numerous passes across the eastern Karpash range, as well as several large cavern complexes beneath them. Liquid bitumen has been discovered in the mountains. Kezankian tribesmen live in the parts of the Karpash that abut the Kezankian Mountain range. The western section, between the borders of northeastern Ophir, southern Nemedia, and southwestern Corinthia, is geologically relatively recent. The mountains in this area are a jagged wall of iron-gray and white granite. They are quite high, and there are very few mountain passes. In many locations along the Ophirean border are veins of gold and deposits of precious stones. The western mountains are considered to be haunted by vampires, ghost mists, and terrible lightning storms.
