Baron Valimar Mordis ruled a small barony somewhere in the Alterac Mountains. It had been overrun by the Scourge during the Third War. The barony has at least two castles: one retreat was located high up in the snow covered peaks of the mountains, and another was located in a more alpine region on the cliffs of the mountains. A village existed around the base of the alpine palace, and lead to a verdant valley covered in grasses. Dwarves moved into his lands, high into the mountain peaks, to mine for resources to fight the Scourge.
