Eth Thjar Zozr

Eth Thjar Zozr is the largest mountain range on the continent of Moria as well as possibly Alathra itself. Located to the north of Moria, it takes up roughly half of the Anderm geographical region and proves a well defensible barrier for Cythamuir from the south.

Geography
Eth Thjar Zozr is located in northern Moria within the region ofAnderm. It is a range consisting of three mountains, each with varying heights. The eastern most mountain, Glymenth meaning "bright one", is the middle mountain in height and features the brilliant gates to the mountain city of Dakuh Duzma. The central mountain, Vjaeravobi, is the tallest of the three, earning its name of "Rises above". The third and western most mountain is that of Mimmenth, meaning "dark one", and is the shortest of the three. Although each of the mountains are unique in their slope, shape, and general makeup, they are the heart of TiirtaÄävot Jat and make up one of its major cities. Glymenth and Mimmenth are both snow capped, with streaks of ice as well, but Vjaeravobi pierces the clouds and thus receives no snow fall, leading to a fully ice covered mountain top.

Each of the three mountains features a unique composition of minerals and materials. Glymenth is so named for the rich deposits of calcite and quartz that sometimes strike through its side and reflect the sun upon an observers eye. Vjaeravobi doesn't have much special stone within its interior, although it retains both materials from Glymenth and Mimmenth on its exterior, but it is quite rich in all sorts of minerals and precious gemstones such as netherite, iron, gold, diamond, and amethyst. Mimmenth is comprised of mostly deepslate, with gashes of blackstone appearing along the surface. The interior of Mimmenth is even more interesting to those who are brave enough to venture into its halls.

History
Thousands of years before humans had learned how to hold a stick, before even the peoples of Ezrael had started living on Moria, the Dwarves roamed the hills and lands of ancient Moria. At the time, they were a simple people and hadn't yet discovered their aptitude and love of mountains. During this time, the majority of dwarves lived in central moria, what would eventually become Irithil. As they continued to live, they began to develop an aptitude and need for working with metals and their hands. Thus began the era of the Dwarves of the forge or BezmadanDjergr. As this culture of Dwarves continued to tinker and work with various metals the could find in the region, they began to dry the area of its natural resources and thus, instead of learning from their greed, the Dwarves sent parties all over Alathra in search of new settlements to migrate to. Each of these parties was comprised of a decently sized company of dwarves and, due to this, those who did find settlement decided not to return to the BezmadanDjergr, leaving them stranded and for death. The only party that chose to send message back to the BezmadanDjergr were those who went directly north, meeting the slopes of Glymenth head on. The dwarves felt that this discovery had to be shared amongst themselves and decided to make it their home. Now since the goal of this expedition was to discover new minerals, it was only natural that a mine was started within the mountain.
