Oldmark Mountains

The Oldmark Mountains are a treacherous mountain range south of Neutral Territory, featuring at least one active volcano. It also refers to the former sovereign land of Mount Erebor as ruled by The Infidel. Restrictions have been placed on its development following the events of the Daemon Restoration.

Age of the Infidel
Long considered the southern edge of the known world by the rulers of Sabrinia and Pieter Kingdom, the Oldmark Mountain were first scaled by The Infidel, who was later awarded its general area by King Pieter. This led to tensions between the Infidel and Sabrina, who had previously claimed all lands south of the Shoebox as her own. After constructing a simple lair, the remains of which have survived to this day, The Infidel started construction on the great Tower of the Infidel. But before the tower was done, The Infidel summoned the false angel Richard using a pentagram on top of his lair, leading to the Day of Judgment. In retaliation, King Pieter chased the Infidel out of Pisa Manama and to make an example of Oldmark, ruined the proud Tower of the Infidel, leaving the Oldmark Mountains uninhabited once more.

The Daemon Restoration
This status quo lasted for some time, but was eventually disrupted by followers of the false angel Richard (also known as Marksmen). Without the knowledge of King Pieter, they scaled the Oldmark Mountains from the south and started to rebuild the Tower of the Infidel using glass and lava. Eventually discovered by King Pieter, the Marksmen were routed and the Tower returned to its ruined state. Since then, the King has decreed the Oldmark Mountains to be a restricted territory to new settlers and is now being actively guarded by Pieter Kingdom.

Modern Times
Today, the Oldmark Mountains remains a holy site to Marksmen and opponents of King Pieter in general. Fearing a renewed insurgency, Pieter Kingdom defends the mountain range from any potential settlers. It could not however stop the development of Church Hill by Marksmen hailing from Marty Mountain. As an act of goodwill, King Pieter did construct a railway station in the Oldmark Mountains, connecting the hard-to-reach ruins left by The Infidel to the Stark Line. The area has recently seen a surge in tourism.
