Description
Commissioned landscape. This was for a roleplaying game of sorts!

Backstory given to me for this area:
"The massive mountain known as Blackhollow for its Obsidian mines was long ago promised to Saber Aeonsinner from the tyrant himself, and the tyrant blessed Saber Aeonsinner with unholy longevity. Saber was but a human but the magic imbued to him makes him nigh immortal, time does not affect him and only the most powerful attacks could harm him. Being the master of lands Saber Aeonsinner of Blackhollows took the title of baron and gathered human servants to his side. To understand these dark humans who choose to serve a dark master one must understand what the baron offers in a turbulent world. In most places of the world chaos and warfare are rife, in Utuldor because the violence of many of its races and in Vazlathir because of their enmity to Utuldor. In Blackhollows there is however a unique oasis of safety and stability. Men in black armour who carry the blessings of dark gods patrol the mountain and its surrounding farmlands and villages, these templars of darkness are powerful warriors and root out any criminals and rebels they can find. Blackhollows itself is one of the best-fortified places to exist; the mountain is as solid as any other and the many gates are reinforced iron carrying runes of dark blessings. Aeonsinner believes strongly in order and domination and worships Tirankatar as the god of both of these traits. He is a self appointed prophet to Tirankatar and the worship of the deity is mandatory with execution the most common punishment. Many are displeased with his rule but few dare speak against it and most know that they would not have a better life elsewhere in Utuldor. Saber Aeonsinner enjoys every minute of his rule, he gives a façade of a dour and unyielding leader but enjoys his free time with fine food and wine as well as his massive harem, he also carries the right to the first night any girl has after her wedding and he makes much use of this privilege. In the Blackhollows worship and knowledge of the Vortex is strictly forbidden, that does not stop underground cults to appear however and there is a constant battle between cults and templars behind the dark façade of order the Undying Baron maintains."
