Adeline Winterbourne began to raid, kill, and enslave Native's in Endora. Because they used a trading system, they could not flee, only hide. A majority of Native's have been enslaved, and those who haven't reside deep in mountain territory and in hiding.

Mountains in Endora are relatively big and lush, though some are barren. Mountain Natives reside in the plains in the mountains and forests in the untouched territory.

Mountain Native's are close with the Fae, as they share some of the same beliefs and worship the same goddess.

Mountain Natives reside in different tribes.

In modern real-time, Mountain Native's would be Native Americans.
