The Alpenenes Mountains

The Alpenenes, also known as 'Europan Range' is a range of grand mountains and plateaus stretching from Gothia all the way down through the Balkans. The mountains harbour unique ecosystems of plants and animals as well as of course it's own civilizations and cultures forged in the harsh mountains. Many mountain civilisations are descended directly from ancient peoples and so boast different characteristics to lowland inhabitants. They live mostly in peace and do not often associate with the nations. The mountains have the pro of being hard to reach providing nations with incredibly strong natural borders.
