Sweetheart Summit is the most well-known mountain in the Dragonspine mountain range. Not only is it the epicenter of the Ether Hunt holiday, but it's also home to peculiar phenomena and magnificent beasts. Adventurers, scientists, mages, and those with a wish to prove their worth are drawn to the mountain's pink crags.
Very few call the summit and the region around it their home, with superstitions that the soil was corrupted by the greedy Terradin responsible for creating the mountain. If you spend too much time living off the pink earth, the merchant's greed will become your own and you will meet your demise. Despite these fears, the summit has brought many things to the islands: trees with bark that rivaled the healing properties of pangolin scales, rich ores that create beautiful jewels and dyes, and a place for the divided to gather under the pretense of friendly competition and love.
As far as the geography itself, there is the summit (of course). Although not the highest peak, the atmosphere is still thin, and a cold permeates the air. Snow falls all year round, although some regions are packed into dense layers of ice, while other spots offer hazardous footing to erosion. A few paths lead up to the summit, and although they are relatively safe, they are long. winding, and poorly maintained. Those who wish to make a quick journey to the top are left to forge their own route.
At the base of the mountain is a clear plateau that spans for a couple of miles. There is a beautiful transition of green grasses from the outside world merging into the blushing hues the Sweetheart Summit is known for. Grasses closest to the foot of the mountain are plush and puffy. There's a literal energy that hangs in the air as harmless bolts of static flit between fronds and travelers. Unlike the mountain, there are many hiking trails that snake around the fields.
The ascent, though, is where the real hazards lay. The mountain's very landscape changes with every visit, and while the mountain doesn't appear to change from a distance, those walking the trails insist otherwise. Travelers often get lost in the fog, regardless of their seniority, and there always seems to be something new awaiting them. You're welcome to investigate any anomalies that the mountain offers you, so long as you adhere to the lone rule of the mountains: under no circumstances should you unburry the caves. If you value anything on the islands, do not even think so much as to explore them.
