|Introduction=The '''Cairnwall Mountains''' is a fragmented group of mountains in western [[Arezilur]], forming a rugged divide between [[Minthal]] and the shifting sands of [[Arezilur]]. The Cairnwall is a land of fractured ridges and collapsed stone formations. The desert winds carve through its exposed surfaces, grinding the stone into jagged spires and unstable slopes. | |Introduction=The '''Cairnwall Mountains''' is a fragmented group of mountains in western [[Arezilur]], forming a rugged divide between [[Minthal]] and the shifting sands of [[Arezilur]].
