Deep in the heart of the Beast Continent, in a forest of towering trees that seemed to stretch infinitely in all directions, a singular mountain pierced above the canopy, stretching a hundred miles into the sky. At the very top of the mountain was a grand statue of a serpent coiling around the mountain peak, one that was several miles long and tall.
Carved into the plaque at the base of the statue was the name of the mountain region, the 'Bastion of Beasts'.
At the base of the enormous mountain was a singular entrance, a tunnel over two miles wide and a mile tall. The tunnel was guarded by two massive stone doors which parted in the middle. On each door was a massive carving of a winding serpent, one that enveloped an entire world.
The carvings were so real that they appeared lifelike, as if the snakes would lunge out from the doors at any moment.
