Pale Mountain

Pale Mountain is a mountain that exists in multiple dimensions simultaneously. The oracle who lives there has been consulted multiple times throughout the history of the omniverse and would answer three questions to anyone who asked.

Pale Mountain gained its cross-dimensional traits in Fartherall's Second Age, when the gods of Inos rejected the Ord's dotarium offer, and the Ord killed Ruin, the god of war. His body landed on Pale Mountain, and his blood awakened the mountain with oracular powers.
