Could you advise us what to keep in mind when traveling this general area?

You will find your way in the Finsterkamm by the mercy of Our Lord Praios. Many a soul has lost his way there and never returned from its gloomy peaks. It is said fearful creatures of black magic lie in wait for travelers there. Only in the protection of Praios’ light are you secure from those fiends of darkness.

And have you heard about the dwarf town in the mountain riddge?

You mean the Finsterkopp. It is the highest peak of the Finsterkamm, and the center of all that is evil.
