Mortmain Mountains

The Valley of the Four Drafts, in which the Snow Scouts gather, is in the Mortmain Mountains. The Stricken Stream, which arises on Mount Fraught, the largest mountain in the range, flows to the sea. The Snow Scours are headed by Bruce, and they include many important people including formerly Quigley Quagmire, Carmelita Spats, and possibly the children of C.M. Kornbluth and the Duchess of Winnipeg. The mountain range is home to Snow Gnats and V.F.D. lions. The range is very difficult to climb, since it consists of sheer drops and plateaux arranged in a staircase. The range is very cold during winter and false spring, with blizzards and ice further hindering climbing.
