Actually, Mount Rainier is surrounded by 6000 foot high mountains. They just look really insignificant next to the 14,000+ foot mountain.

I imagine that it is visible from just about everywhere in Kerofinela. Nymie Vale, Killard Vale, Heortland, Tarsh, Holay and so on. It is just real big. Of course it is the source of sovereignity. Of course it is Orlanth's mother.
