The largest mountain range in [[Wildemount]], the Cyrios Mountains wind across the western side of the continent, dividing the Menagerie Coast from Western Wynandir and the [[Dwendalian Empire]]. The jagged mountains make overland travel between the neighboring continents of Wildemount and [[Tal'Dorei]] all but impossible—to say nothing of the nightmarish beasts that hunt amid the craggy cliffs and gnarled trees. - ### Cyrios Mountains Adventures - The vast mountain range harbors all kinds of challenges for those who value treasure more than their own lives. - __**The Unlucky Few (Low Level).**__ The characters are hired by a minor official from the Dwendalian Empire to find a small community of [[ttrpgs/The Slayers FiveRighteous Brand]] deserters who have set up an encampment deep into the Cyrios Mountains and bring them to justice. When they locate these fugitives, the adventurers discover that the entire community is afflicted with lycanthropy, the reason for their desertion. The characters can attempt to capture or slay the former soldiers to complete their contract, make allies with them and keep their secret, or even search for a cure and help them reintegrate into society. - __**Many Eyes for Many a Prize (Mid Level).**__ Rumors reach the coast that a hidden mountain valley holds a mysterious collection of statues. The characters are hired to accompany a curator of the [[Cobalt Soul]] to investigate the nature of this strange menagerie, only to discover that numerous curators have already been added to this display by an eccentric [beholder](https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/beholder) called Enxanash who wants to build a beautiful museum of zoology. The characters must defeat the beholder, convince it to relinquish its collection, or steal the [petrified](https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Petrified) victims.
