Kiston's geography is a vast field of mountains too steep to climb.

The Kiston mainland is an impenetrable fortress of peaks and valleys harsher than any other landscape found in Quelmar. Cartographers of the island have mapped it three primary domains, known as Lamort, Xitial, and the most dangerous mass known as the Mountiferous Peaks.

Kiston is orbited by the Kiston Isles, which continously float and spin around the mainland. Together the main land and isles make up the Kiston Continent.

Geography

Its high, cold mountains and sharp cliffsides make for terrible societal conditions for any race that can not fly, although there have been many notable attempts to colonize Kiston over the years. However, these attempts almost always failed with colonists being lost at sea, or having returned psychologically damaged beyond belief.

The mountains themselves were far from empty, ancient caves, runes, and dungeons plagued the mountains, many of them created by Tiamat and her dragon followers, while other crafted delicately by the other dangerous and insidious creatures lurking on the island. Most notably, the The Crystal City.

Besides being remarkably high, the mountains and their caverns extended deep below the surface, most notably into the territory of Svirfneblin, a race of creatures living in the Underdark below Kiston.

Kiston had a number of major rivers and smaller bodies of water littered among its mountains. Its uncountable waterfalls provided sanctuary for equally innumerous blue dragons (joined by their Bronze brethren after The Holy War).

Mistletoe is a common weed found on Kiston. Other common items found in the wilds included Hazelnuts and Salt rocks.

History

It was here that the Dragons of the realm were first born, and from these mountainous peaks they flooded the rest of the realm.

Tiamat was lucky that her dragons had Kiston all to themselves. Before The Holy War, the dragons could spend time in Kiston safely, protected from being hunted down. Many of them grew to great sizes and age. These Wyrms would later appear fully grown in the second draconic war against the realm.

In late 691 PR, a group known as The Best Around attempted a voyage to Kiston to investigate the legends of the crystal caverns, only to be diverted and crash land on Cof.

Trivia

Behind the Screen

  • In the Legacy Universe, the mainland of Kiston was where the Tovag Baragu sat. After Vecna and his editionals rebooted the realm into 5e, the Tovag Baragu was instead moved to one of Kiston's orbital islands.
