Chenlun Mountains

The Chenlun Mountains are a massive range that stretches almost the entire width of the southernmost peninsula of the continent of Tian Xia, through the nations of Nagajor, Tang Mai, Xa Hoi, and deep into the Valashmai Jungle. It is known for its heavy volcanic activity, which was supposedly triggered by the impact of the Starstone on the far side of Golarion during Earthfall in -5293 AR.

Inhabitants

The heights of the Chenlun are said to be inhabited by fire giants drawn to the volcanic activity of the region, some of whom are led by powerful fire yai. The Lyashtaki catfolk, normally found in the surrounding Valashmai Jungle, also make their homes within the Chenlun Mountains. They are known to be fierce opponents of the fire yai; they loath any attempt to rule them by force and frequently disrupt the plans of any fire yai within the peaks. Due to a well-found fear of fire yai agents attempting to infiltrate their communities, the Lyashtaki catfolk of the Chenlun Mountains are noticeably more cautious around strangers than their jungle-dwelling brethren.
