Mount Jave is thought to be the highest peak in the world at 56.84 DF (9148m/30,012 ft) high above sea level. The mountain is part of numerous peaks in the Greater Jaggudorn Mountains where the highest summits of the whole Jaggudorn chain rest. Mount Jave rests very near the southwestern boundary of Jaffgornia. The giant city of Jaffgorundjala rests about ten miles south of the summit.
The mountain and especially the summit are held to be sacred by most indigenous humanlikes of the region of the Jaggudorn Mountains. The Jaffgorn Giants ascribe the slopes of the mountain as the provenance of their founding ancestor, Jaffgoru, who mated with the earth goddess Iduma to procreate their race.
Summit
The air is very thin and the weather conditions rather inhospitable for the great portion of the elevation of Mount Jave and most so at the summit. For this reason, there are few mountaineers willing to climb it all the way. But for some, the allure of achieving the elevation of the highest point of the face of Asdar is irresistible. Mountaineers must employ special titancraft breathing apparatuses or ancient magics to endure the conditions, particularly the thin atmosphere.
Sacrosanctity of the Summit
The Jaffgorn will not knowingly permit strangers or even most of their own kind to attempt to reach the summit. The Jaffgorn Giants believe standing on the summit is offensive to both the god of the mountain and the sky gods. For this reason, some especially fringe travel services purport to enable their clients "to achieve the summit without harassment from the locals." Treaties between Jaffgornia and the Commonwealth of Thrace and with other bordering states forbid foreigners from climbing to the top of the mountain.
