They are revered as the birthplace of the [[Orasians]] and play a crucial role in the region's climate and ecology.

|Etymology=The name "Citadel Mountains" originates from the mountains' location surrounding the inaccessible valley of [[Vareth-Ka]], the center of Adrasil. The mountains are considered to be guardians of the realm of Terasil. The term "Citadel" reflects the mountains' perceived role as a bastion of strength and protection, deeply rooted in the ancient lore of Adrasil.

|Geography=The Citadel Mountains form a circle around Vareth-Ka in the central region of Terasil, forming a natural barrier that significantly influences the surrounding environment. The range spans several hundred miles, with its highest peaks piercing the sky and its slopes defining the landscape of Terasil.

Line 20:

* Formation: The mountains were formed through the manifestation of Oras's thought and creativity..

* Mineral Deposits: The range is rich in various minerals, making it a vital source of resources for the inhabitants of Terasil. The mountains are known for their veins of precious metals and crystals, which are mined by the Minthari and other races.

|Climate=The climate of the Citadel Mountains is predominantly arid, with variations depending on altitude and exposure. The western slopes receive slightly more moisture, while the eastern slopes are significantly drier due to the rain shadow effect. Most of Terasil experiences hot summers, cool winters, and minimal precipitation, with conditions becoming increasingly harsher toward the Yalta Expanse in the east.

Line 57:

The Citadel Mountains are shrouded in myths and legends that speak of their mystical origins and the powerful beings that reside within them.

* The Awakening of the Orasians: According to legend, the first Orasians emerged from the stone of the Citadel Mountains, created by the dream of the earth, Oras, itself. This event, known as the Awakening, is a cornerstone of Orasian mythology and marks the beginning of their history.

* Hidden Caverns: Many tales speak of hidden caverns within the mountains that contain ancient artifacts, lost treasures, and secrets of the past. These legends attract adventurers and explorers hoping to uncover the mysteries of the Citadel Mountains.

|Exploration=Despite their central location, much of the Citadel Mountains remains unexplored due to their rugged terrain and the presence of elemental forces. Exploration is often hindered by harsh weather conditions and the sacred status of the mountains.

* Historic Expeditions: Over the centuries, numerous expeditions have been launched to explore the Citadel Mountains, led by scholars, adventurers, and spiritual seekers. While many have returned with tales of wonder, others have been lost to the mountains' unforgiving environment.

* Modern Exploration: Today, exploration continues as adventurers seek to map the uncharted regions of the mountains and discover hidden secrets. However, the Orasians maintain strict control over access to certain areas, particularly those considered sacred.
