Sundermount is a location on the World map in Dragon Age II.
Description
Kirkwall is guarded by Vimmark Mountains to its north, the tallest of which is Sundermount. The mountain has a fearsome reputation. Legend says it was the site of a vicious battle where the ancient Tevinter Imperium and the elves of Arlathan unleashed horrors into the waking world, and unholy creatures prowl the heights to this very day, unaware that the war for which they were summoned is long since over.
The Sabrae clan of Dalish elves led by their Keeper, Marethari have settled at its foot after loosing their halla. A cave to the west of the camp is guarded by a creature from elven legends. A passage near the camp opens into the Deep Roads. A winding path leads up the mountain through spider-infested caverns to a graveyard where elven elders came to sleep. An altar to Mythal stands on the edge of the cliff next to it. An ancient evil is bound atop Sundermount, whispering to the proud in their dreams.
