Wild Mountains
Map: K26
Gilthanas built a nominal capital here for the White Eagle Kagonesti Tribe. Set on the well sheltered Kagonesti Basin, just to the North of Great Sylvanesti Bay, it is a splendid wilderness setting on the Southernmost end of the Red Mountains (Q. Orocarni)
In practice, while grateful for the standing a city gives them in the Free Imperia, most of the Kagonesti Elves prefer to live in the surrounding forest and the mountains for which their city is named. It is still a rich Northern trade port, and the Kagonesti do keep enough of an eye on it to shape its policy and guide would-be visitors to campsites in the mountains where important decisions can be reached. Gilthanas' administration good naturedly maintains the city, fortifications, and port, and as a result there are far better relations between civilized Krynnic Elves and the Kagonesti than there have been in memory. Fishing is rich, the forests are plentiful, and somewhat to their own surprise, the Kagonesti have proved to be skillful traders, primarily in fishing and hunting rights, but also in value added forestry products. The crafting of fetishes, musical instruments, carved woodwork, and small agile riverboats nets them a tidy profit.
