| > For an iconic mountain so prominent in timeless legends, it is still somehow even more majestic and powerful in person.
*-- Source unknown*
Considered the 'mother of all mountains' by most Fulgurian inhabitants and legends, Mount Panthea more than lives up to its lofty expectations by the sheer size and power found there. It is the tallest peak of The Pantheons, and therefore all of the country of Fulguria; nestled deep in the range, it is a force to be reckoned with.
### History

There are innumerable legends about Mount Panthea ranging back hundreds of thousands of years. \[Some will be added here at a later date\]
\[More history will be added at a later date\]
The beauty and majesty of the famous mountain has lured many an unsuspecting or curious visitor. Many lives have been lost on Mount Panthea due to how dangerous it can be.
### Locale
---
At the foot of Mount Panthea (facing the direction of distant capitol of Fulguria, the city of Marrow) sits the quaint old village of Origa. Those most familiar with the mountain and her dangers can be found in the highest quantity residing there.
Between the foot of Mount Panthea and her snowline lays a massive thriving zone of thick coniferous forests. This section of the mountain is teeming with wildlife and is often the safer section for tourists/hikers.
From the snowline onward, however, the mountain quickly becomes inhospitable. Permanent snow and frequent blizzards batter everything. Despite this, there is still a surprising amount of life found in the more sparse forests of the taiga and even above where the trees begin to thin in to an expanse of snow and rock. Mysterious hidden caves filled with very fragile magic crystalline structures can rarely be happened upon amongst the blankets of snow of this altitude.
Dangerous blizzards are a constant threat above the snowline, appearing seemingly out of the blue very quickly and catching some of even the best hikers and climbers off guard.
Along the mountain at any level it is possible to stumble upon curious ancient ruins, some resembling temples, dotting the vast mountainside.
One species of Owlet Moths can be found ONLY on Mount Panthea: the Frost Owlet Moths (or "Frowlets" as they are locally called).
