The tallest of the nations, the Apex rests high upon a mountaintop. Despite the season it is often frosty here, with blankets of snow almost certain in winter. There is little green at these altitudes but it is no less lush or beautiful with its towering cyprus and heavy-furred fauna. A crumbled ancient observatory rest at its uppermost point, with unparalleled views of the sky and the world of Lycaenos beneath it. A tall, towering cleft of rock wall yawns wide with a deep enclave that might serve as shelter or an amphitheater.
