Aigle Mountains

Towering mountains bordering desert on Mercury.

The Aigle Mountains emerge in the Red Rising Saga as the towering natural sentinels bordering the vast deserts of Mercury, first detailed in Dark Age amid the escalating Rim-Solar War. These imposing peaks serve as a dramatic geographical marker, framing the harsh, unforgiving terrain where key battles and survival struggles unfold for Darrow and his allies. Though their role is nascent in book five, they symbolize the brutal environmental challenges that test the Society's fracturing empire, with potential for deeper involvement in later conflicts.
