The Wheel of Time - The Call of the Horn
Dragonmount is a high, steep mountain west of the island of Tar Valon, located between the rivers Erinin and Luan and dominating the otherwise flat plain between the two.
It was created during the Breaking of the World, when Lews Therin Telamon killed himself after Ishamael Healed him from the insanity caused by the taint on saidin. His return to sanity forced him to acknowledge what he had done to family and friends, and in utter despair, he began channeling massive amounts of the One Power, eventually killing himself in the process. and creating the mountain known as Dragonmount.
No person has ever successfully climbed to the top of Dragonmount, and the slopes are littered with the bones of those who have attempted it. Smoke is always rising from the summit, leading to the idea that it is an active volcano, It is the tallest mountain in the Westlands, even taller than any individual peak of the Spine of the World. Its shadow just touches the city of Tar Valon each evening.
