Shiverpeak Mountains

The Shiverpeak mountains are the long, cold chain of mountains lodged between Ascalon to the east and Kryta to the west. The mountains are difficult to travel due to the cold and the monsters that prowl its roads and passes. The mountains are home to the industrious Deldrimor Dwarves and their inhospitable cousins, the Stone Summit. Merchants in the towns and cities of the Shiverpeaks offer the famous Dwarven Ale.

The Northern and Southern Shiverpeaks
Even though geographically the Shiverpeaks are one continuous area, they are usually divided into Northern and Southern Shiverpeaks as a result of the story line in the game.

Northern Shiverpeaks
Players arrive in the northern part of the mountains early in the campaign. This area extends from Yak's Bend to Beacon's Perch. Most of the monsters in the wilderness are levels 12-14. Monsters in this region include Minotaurs, Ice Golems, Centaurs and Stone Summit forces.

Southern Shiverpeaks
Most players arrive in the southern part of the mountains late in the campaign, after Ascension (however some choose to access it earlier via the famously difficult Droknar Run). This area extends from south of Beacon's Perch all the way to Marhan's Grotto. Most of the monsters in the wilderness are level 20 and above. Monsters in this region include Pinesouls, Siege Ice Golems, Ice Imps and more advanced Stone Summit forces.
