Rang'Shada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rang'Shada Mountains is a fictional mountain range in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

[edit] Description

The Rang'Shada Mountains are a vast spine of rock that runs northeast across the "back" of the Midlands - from the northeast corner down the center of the Midlands, leveling off as it reaches the Wilds in the south. The name is a conjunction of two words from the old tongue of Emperor Jagang's homeland, Altur'Rang. The word Rang translates loosely as "The Chosen" and Shada is the word for an armoured war gauntlet with spikes. Rang'Shada translates roughly as "War Fist of the Chosen". Cradled within the mountains is the remote place known as Agaden Reach, home of the witch woman, Shota.
