Please consider using Template:Infobox RegionData instead, which automatically fetches the relevant and always-correct data from the game engine itself. Use this template for historical pages where the region data is no longer available (e.g. the sunk south islands).
To convert, use the "image" property - the first number is the world-id, the second the region-id.

General info
Mt. Black Nastrond, a dark mountain ominously looming over Nifelhold. The mountain is also a natural choke point, as there are 2 rivers running down from the mountain, like two streams of tears running down a face. One to north-east, separating White plains and Rye from Torrents Breath and Storms End. And one to south-west, separating Nifel from Muspel. Making Mt. Black Nastrond the only path (by land) from north-east to north-west.
The people are a hardy folk who export large amounts of quarried stone and rare metals to the rest of Virovene. They are also renowned for their masonry and carving. All major architecture in this part of the world has been worked on by at least one Nastrondian mason.
The region was also the first line of defense against the northern rogues. It stood firm for many generations. Since the expansion into the north it is no longer a barrier, but the sacrifice of many upon its slopes shall never be forgotten. It's position is still key in defense though as a choke point to Nifelhold from the north and west and a mountainous land.
