..the ancient birds of Tyaa, who, when the temple was defiled and shut up, flew away to the Mountains of Darkness to await the time when Tyaa would call them back.

The Eastern Mountains of Darkness are a maze of steep cliffs and outcrops. Christian of the High Passes was born here, and here can be found the ruins of his family farm. It is rumoured that the goddess Tyaa fled to this part of the Mountains of Darkness when she departed Lankhmar.
