|Introduction=The Boundary Mountains are a formidable range marking the westernmost border of Terasil, separating [[Duranthi]] lands from the [[Sirel Coast]]. Their towering, iron-rich peaks and jagged ridges form a natural defense.

The southern pass through the range is fortified by Shem-Kal, a strategic outpost, while the town of Hek-~~Val~~, carved into the mountain’s lower slopes, serves as a key trade and defense hub. In the north, the settlement of Men-Kal sits high in the Boundary Mountains guarding the northern pass.

|Etymology=The name "Boundary Mountains" reflects their historical and symbolic role as the final barrier between Terasil and the lands beyond.

Terasil’s northern frontier, [[Men-Kal]] sits high in the Boundary Mountains.

The settlement is built into the **rock face of a sheer cliff**, its structures reinforced against the relentless winds that howl through the pass. **Towering stone watchposts** line its western edge, their narrow slits eternally scanning the forests of [[Celyndor]]. Orasians in Men-Kal rarely lower their guard, for they believe the mountains protect them from more than just invaders—**they keep out things that should never set foot in Terasil.**

~~Men-Kal is not a place for the faint-hearted. **Only the hardiest Orasians are sent here, bound by oath to hold the mountain and the pass against whatever may come~~.**

|Economy=While rich with iron, the nature of the stone has proved to difficult to mine for economy.
