|Introduction=The '''Khargaath Mountains''' is a mountain range of Terasil. These peaks form the western edge of Sanctuary Vale, and they are known for their sharp cliffs, deep ravines, and jagged terrain. The mountains are remnants of ancient volcanic activity, and their harsh environment has made them largely impassable to most forms of travel.
