The mountain realm of Gyriand is a place of snow-covered peaks and high windswept plateaus. The Firstborn Mara rules the realm from his timber great-hall on the flanks of Spyre.

Many barbarian warriors from northern Gwelith find themselves in Gyriand when they die. The mountains echo to the sound of battle as the warriors fight one another day after day. At night the warriors retire to the many great-halls dotted across the plane where they feast on the finest food and drink. At the dawn of the next day they awake fully healed, ready for another day of battle.
