Aphrunn Mountains
From Forgotten Realms Wiki
The Aphrunn Mountains have served as a shield of stone between the kingdom of Turmish and the many small towns that have grown up along the shores of the Vilhon Reach. Like other mountain ranges, they have a power structure of their own among their inhabitants.[1]

[edit] Mount Kolimnis
Most travelers are familiar with Mount Kolimnis, called Eversmoke due to its volcanic activity. The city of Gildenglade is even more familiar with the volcano. Ten years ago, the city was concerned that Eversmoke might eventually erupt and destroy their town. With that in mind, they hired a wizard to research a spell that would silence the volcano forever. Danirro of Alaghôn stepped forward to conquer the mountain.[1]
For two years, Danirro researched a spell that would silence the volcano. On a hot summer day in 1360 DR, he climbed up to the lip of Mt. Kolimnus and began casting his spell. Whether or not he would have been successful will never be known. Agents of the Emerald Enclave shapeshifted on either side of him and pushed the spellcasting mage into the heart of the volcano. Danirro's ring of feather fall was said to activate, but it only served to offer him a slow death as he floated slowly down into the magma.[1]
Danirro's cottage - and all of his research notes - were destroyed in a fire that occurred at just about the same time as Danirro's dip into the volcano. The city of Gildenglade received a warning from the Emeral Enclave not to try to meddle with forces it didn't understand, nor to try to hire those who thought they did understand. Hence, Eversmoke continues to spew forth steam, but it has yet to erupt.[1]
[edit] Inhabitants
The Scything Claw: This band of kobolds call the Aphrunn their home. This group makes infrequent raids into Turmish, providing the roving militia with a focus for their attention.[1]
