Mt Tanis, the second tallest mountain peak in the planet, F'Rama III.

Located in the Occienta mountains of the Western Spur, it's highest point is over 30,000m from it's base, making it almost impossible to scale.

The mountain has a strong religious tie to the nation of Anubinia and it's ancient state religion of "Chrac'Anu Elohim". Followers of thr faith believe that in the creation of the world, Mt Tanis emerged from the boiling seas and spawned the rest of the PEEL landmass.

Later, a monastary was constructed near the peak, and was maintained by a secretive order called the Monks of Eternia, who were also believed to be in posession of the fabled Braki Chalice, an ancient cup said to grant everlasting life to whoever drank from it. It is widely believed that this was the means by how the ruling Anubinian Pharaohs and top statesmen possess such long lifespans.
