The Belnok Range was part of the legendary Maw of the North.
Due to its proximity to the ancient land of Orrishai, the eastern side of the mountain range is a place of barren rock and strange warm shadows. The east side is avoided by all.
G’Rets Dahl-krhunz and the remaining few fire giants that survived the hunting and eradication of the Giants/Colossi of the Steel Realms settled in the Belnok Range.
