Mount Nyid and its sister Mount Nirka are volcanos that used to lie within the land of Arak, Mount Nyid at its centre and Mount Nirka on its northern frontier with Darkon. They and their land were subsumed by Darkon as part of the Great Upheaval in 740 BC. Following the Requiem in 750 BC they have become active. The pair used to side by side, but they appear to have grown apart, with Mount Nyid anchoring the southeastern Mountains of Misery and Mount Nirka anchoring the northwestern Mountains of Misery. Mount Nyid soars to a tremendous height of 9530 ft. Mount Grysl and Mount Makab perhaps once rivaled it for the title of the highest peak in the Land of Mists. But they and the land of Bluetspur have vanished. Mount Nyid is the source of the Dnar River. When completed, the Strigos Road will skirt its western flank.
