Mount Frunawa

Frunawa is a mountain in Rowen. An important cult site is sacred in Rowen culture; every able-bodied Rowen travels there to make their first bow from trees cultivated specially on it's slopes. Despite it's importance, the region is sparsely populated, with only a small town a few productive farms which provide food and shelter to travelers.

This is because of how Rowen's value survival skills and individualism. Pilgrims traveling to the site are expected to survive alone as they craft their bow, crafting their own tools as well. As such, any permanent settlement might unfairly contribute to these endeavors, marring the religious experience.

The most sacred site is a very large geothermal spring which emits a hot river. Bathing in the waters further down stream is a part of the pilgrimage. Closer to the source, the steam from the vent causes peculiar growth patterns on the trees, which makes the wood springier and stronger. Though the species of tree is common, the wood from those grown in the valley beside is unique.
