Rasenna's Backbone

Rasenna's Backbone, sometimes shortened to the Backbone, is a mountain range in central Elemnakos, running parallel to the Astorian Mountains. Between it and the Astorians lies the fertile valley of Upper Artan, to the north is Ischia, and its foothills to the west give way to the flat plains of the Riverlands.

Climate
Rasenna's Backbone is one of the tallest mountain ranges in Elemnakos, with permanent snowcaps atop many of its peaks. As a result, less than a quarter of the land between the summits is arable, and winters in the mountains are severe.

A limited number of animals have adapted to these cold temperatures, including hardy goat-antelopes called ligurokos, large ground squirrels, and thick-furred lynxes.
