A range of low mountains on the southwest coast of the Trier Sea, in Dal Shang Province. They are old, worn mountains of folded sedimentary rock (limestone, sandstone, and shale) with some volcanic intrusions which have produced deposits of blue marble. The range is entirely forested with a mixed hardwoods and evergreens. Caves are common, and there are many streams. Although the western face of the mountains descends fairly gently, the eastern side, on the Trier Coast, is generally precipitous. Most of the rivers flowing east to the Trier Sea end in waterfalls plunging to the beach. The highest peaks are in the northern part of Dal Shang Province (there are higher ones yet farther north beyond the imperial border, but they are geologically younger); they rise some four to five thousand feet above the level of the Trier Sea to their main ridge line. In the south, though lower, they are more rugged due to extensive volcanic invasion.
