The mountains are known for their reflective black stone, which absorbs light and creates a shadowy landscape. Once part of a singular horseshoe-shaped massif, erosion and tectonic shifts split the mountains, creating the Minthal Valley and isolating the Western [[Minthari]] from their kin in the eastern [[Minthal Mountains]]. | ||

The Minthal Valley, once a part of the Astralith and Minthal massifs, was shaped by erosion over millennia, creating a natural divide between the Western and Eastern Minthari. Due to their subterranean lifestyle, the Western Minthari rarely cross the valley, leading to the evolution of distinct customs, traditions, and beliefs. | The Minthal Valley, once a part of the Astralith and Minthal massifs, was shaped by erosion over millennia, creating a natural divide between the Western and Eastern Minthari.

|Climate=The Astrathal Mountains is colder and more shadowed than the Minthal Mountains, with minimal sunlight exposure due to its reflective black stone. The lower Slopes are cool and dim, with occasional fog banks rolling through the valleys. Higher Elevations are cold and still, with frequent cloud cover shrouding the peaks. | |Climate=The Astrathal Mountains is colder and more shadowed than the Minthal Mountains, with minimal sunlight exposure due to its reflective black stone.
