Mount Grande

Mount Grande is a major city situated about half way up the Dur'Grande Mountains. There is a perpetual mist that blankets the reaches above Mount Grande. The city was built on a base that the original mountain dwellers, the Grandeans, had spent centuries hacking away around the mountain to build their kingdom’s capital. Then Man came, and built Mount Grande anew.

At the foot of the north face is a glorious palace, the only original building that Man had retained. It was the oldest building in Iridia, occupied by the Grandean royalty over the eons, and was occupied by Aurora during the events of the trilogy.

A path leading east snakes its way up the mountain towards an ominous foreboding structure carved into the mountain face – the castle of Rubeus. Above the castle, beyond the mist, is a dormant volcano.

Mount Grande is also home to the Black Tower, a central Library, a guild hall, and many other administrative buildings. The roads run mostly parallel and the homes are of similar architecture, designed to suit the needs of Man.
