In the Rending Mountains

"The Rending Mountains, it has been said, tear the flesh of history. It has generally only been said by people like Christopher Illopoly, but still, they are a good region to find the places that daylight history does not recognise."

- In-game text

The Rending Mountains can probably identified with the real-world Zagros Mountains, which stretch from Anatolia to Persia. The Greek god Zagreus was dismembered and reborn, which explains the "rending", and the etymology of his name is related to pits used by hunters, although the real Zagros mountain and the god Zagreus are not related. Ninegala of Lagash identifies Zagreus with The Thunderskin, and claims that the Rending Mountains were named for him.
