The Kodar Mountains, known to the Shoanti as the World's Roof, are among the highest mountain ranges on the face of Golarion. Located in the north of Avistan, they form the natural boundary between several nations. The extensive range forms the north and northwestern border of Varisia separating it from the Hold of Belkzen to the west and the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, Irrisen and the Realm of the Mammoth Lords
to the north. Few creatures call the Kodars their home as only the
toughest creatures can survive there. Known inhabitants include rocs, storm giants, dragons, yeti, crag spiders, and wendigos. This isolation has helped foster rumors of fantastic locations hidden within the depths of the mountains.
