The mountains consist of between dozens and hundreds of hexes of Mountains, High Mountains, and Valleys.

Wild dwagons pop in the mountains, at a rate of roughly once per 200 turns per hex.

[edit] Real World References

The name parodies the name of the "Misty Mountains" from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It may also be a reference to Andes Mints, a popular brand of mint-flavored chocolate candy named after the Andes mountain range.
