Mount Utrae North Slope

The Mount Utrae North Slope is a region in the Utraean Peninsula, the multiplayer world in 'Dungeon Siege.

Overview[]

This region is the third quarter of the trek from Meren to Lang. It connects with the Mount Utrae Summit very close to the peak, and it ends at the mountain's base in Lang Mire, at an entry point into the swamp east-southeast of Lang town.

Description[]

The Mount Utrae North Slope is, obviously, the northern slope of Mount Utrae, tallest peak in the Utraean Peninsula. This region can be confusing to plot on a map; some speculate that one actually travels through Iliarth Divide when one leaves the mountain on a trek to Lang.

The north slope contains short segments of alpine, cave, forest, and swamp environments, as per the change in altitude. Much of the steeper segment of the descent is

In this region, bandit numbers are zilch. The lower one goes, snowbanks give way to forest; albeit more moist and humid than average. A rushing river and a steep downward incline add energy to this portion of the Meren-Lang journey, which is perhaps the most peaceful stretch of wilderness in the Peninsula other the Endless Dunes. There is nary an enemy to be seen from the Summit almost down to swamp level. Swamp creatures, willows, cypress, and giant fungi become common as the land levels out, eventually disintegrating into the murky expanse of the Lang Mire.

Inhabitants[]

An ex-bandit wheeler-dealer in the Mount Utrae Alpine Reaches, Endar Gareth, claims that a coven of Swamp Witches controls the north slope of the mountain and that the Cloud Forest bandits, fearing their magic, do not approach this area. Like the Summit, the northern slope is clear of hostiles until one approaches the lower altitudes. There is a Swamp Troll miniboss among the creatures at the foot of the mountain, and there are indeed some Witches.
