Ugradrath is a sharp, towering mountain range stretching from northern Grashakh into the region of Cinazan. In the Horgon Era, the northern tracts of Ugradrath were claimed by the frost giants of Glangveif. The middle parts of these mountains, the so-called Warring Belt, were contested lands, battlefields for the fire giants of Hofthorm Monarchy (145 HE - 101) and their opposites out of Glangveif.

Splitting the peaks, flowing north, is a fast-moving river named the Alarthand. Fordable in the most unreachable parts, it is has long been a major obstacle. Today, it is a natural border between the Orchish Empire to the south and the Khazarkar Empire to the north.

Having been the site of war between the Titan Empires and in those of more recent times, the mountains are littered with the wreckage of old conflicts. Dangerous land to cross with an army, some go underground, following a tunnel system built-up over three hundred years of routine conflict. The Fograth, the Orchish Empire's ground forces, made and continue to make eastward advancing tunnels and subterranean bastions. On several occasions, with great success, they were put to use in great offensives against the Khazarkar Empire. When these are not used or patrolled, they become havens for all sorts of beasts. For many of the subterranean realm, unguarded means unclaimed, homes for trogs and other subterranean peoples.

On the surface, the main route through Ugradrath is a rugged valley named Lyfning Bar.
