Triple Peaks

Triple Peaks

The highest point of altitude in all of Escandea; grand, majestic, and snowy. While the Triple Peaks are beautiful, the path to get to the top is somewhat perilous as avalanches or large chunks of rock or ice could come tumbling down from a cliff above and squash you flat at any given moment. Despite the initial fear one might feel, getting to the peaks is a well-earned feat, and the view is breathtaking. Along with bragging rights, though, you also get to see the Stone Wolf. Perched at the top of the mountain is the statue of a wolf carved right out of the mountain itself, supposedly by the no-pelts, or humans, although others believe it was a gift from somewhere up there, if you catch my drift. No one has ever figured out the origins of the Stone Wolf even with all of the interest surrounding it.

The Stone Wolf is made out of a shiny, sharp black stone- either obsidian or onyx -with faded and flaked yellow coloring on the eyes. Even with what you may think, it appears unimaginably real; especially in the light of the moon, it looks as though it could step right out of the mountain and hold a conversation! Because of this, the legend of the Stone Wolf remains well-known and is taught to pups at a young age. And an interesting fact? The Stone Wolf is positioned so that it is looking over the entire valley of Escandea; a solemn guardian, of sorts.
