In Dragon Pass we record "Mounts Ternveka,Korgradus, and Hareva all rise to 6,000' above sea level (impressively, over 3,000' higher than the land around them) and Quivin Mountain rises 7,000' above sea level. Most years, these five highest peaks are snow-capped year round. The Dragonspine Mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding hills and are sharp, almost triangular. They average 3,500' above sea level, with many
peaks rising over 4,500' and the highest reaching 7,000'."
