|Introduction=The Boundary Mountains are a formidable range marking the westernmost border of Terasil, separating the [[Orasian]] lands from the Highland Plains beyond. Their towering, iron-rich peaks and jagged ridges form an impenetrable natural defense, long regarded as the final bastion of Orasian strength. Unlike the more eroded mountains of Cairnwall or Scarspire, the Boundary Mountains stand defiant against time and erosion, their sheer cliffs and blackened peaks symbolizing the endurance of the Orasians.
