The Beor Mountains were part of a mountain range in southeastern Alagaësia. They were used as a hideout by the Varden until after the Battle under Farthen Dûr.
[edit] Etymology
The elves named the mountains after the Beorn, the name in the Ancient Language for the cave bear native to the mountain. The real name of the mountains is a secret the dwarves don't tell to other races.
[edit] Description
- "There's no end to them!"
- — Eragon
Over ten miles high, the Beor Mountains were the tallest mountains in Alagaësia. The peaks faded out of sight into the clouds; all that could be seen was a giant wall of ice and snow, and a tiny band of trees near the ground.
The dwarves created large cities under and above the Beor Mountains. The dwarves migrated there after the Hadarac Desert became uninhabitable. The largest of the dwarf cities was Tronjheim, the old capital of the Varden.

The various animals that inhabited the area were:
- Urzhad, or cave bear
- Fanghur, or flying serpent
- Feldûnost, or goat
- Nagra, or giant boar
- Shrrg, or giant wolf
- all of these animals have dwarven clans dedicated after them
[edit] Connections
The Word Beorn in the Ancient Language Translates in to Bear. However, in the Hobbit, there is a giant named Beorn who, at the Battle of Five Armies, transforms in to a bear.
