The towering Eiglophian Mountains mark the northern border of Cimmeria. Beyond their peaks to the northwest are the lands of the Vanir invaders. While in the northeast are the folk of the Aesir, who are infrequent allies or foes of the Cimmerians. There are few passes through these mountains, so most hostilities are limited to raids and pillaging—or so many believed, before the Vanir marched an army of warriors into Cimmeria.

Passage through the mountains is difficult and dangerous, even for seasoned travellers. Apart from trappers and scouts, few men dwell in these mountains. To survive in the Eiglophians, one must be possessed of incredible willpower, physical strength, and great courage. The howling winds and biting cold gnaw at both body and soul. Creatures such as snow leopards and ice worms weed out the weak, while treacherous paths with sheer cliffs kill the unwary. What human life does cling to existence here is divided between scattered Cimmerian clans and flesh-eating tribes, who have bedeviled hunters and trappers for decades now. These murderous cannibals raid nearby Cimmerian villages, not for conquest, but to capture people who are fated to be eaten in the deep, dark caves that the flesh-eaters claim as their territory. The Eiglophan Mountains are also home to one of the worlds bosses, the Ice Worm, who appears in 4 different places, all close to the mountain hunting lodge

The range itself is a holy place to the Cimmerians. In the eastern spur of the Eiglophians, there stands Ben Morgh, known to outsiders as Mount Crom. Here, it's said, Crom dwells, sending out death and doom to those who have failed him. His anger shakes the peaks in the form of thunderstorm and avalanches—and Crom is wrathful as of late, since invaders from Hyperborea, Vanaheim, and the Border Kingdom trespass ever deeper into Cimmeria.
