The Einsame Maria (the Lone Maria), also known in Mountaineer as Txol'ulk'Alara (the mountain where Alara dwells) is the largest mountain in Hendalarsk and one of the largest mountains in Levantia. A dormant stratovolcano whose last significant eruption occurred around 2300 years ago, the Einsame Maria is an iconic symbol of Hendalarsk both domestically and internationally and is revered in various cultural and religious traditions across the nation.
