Ranterg Mountains

---

The Ranterg Mountains (from Hick "thrantorgral" - "thousand stone peaks") form the central spine of Senera, running roughly north-south through the island's interior. The range serves as the source of the Brams River and historically marked the boundary between coastal and inland Hick settlements.

• Modern Seneran: [ran.terg]
