<p>Dinsdale: /* Annotations */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Copperhead''' is a prominent massif in the [[Ramtops]] above [[Lancre]]. The mountain is big but is still small enough to be big enough to have a name, unlike '''really big''' mountains. <br /> <br /> Copperhead is settled by several [[dwarfs|dwarf clans]] and possibly [[trolls]] as well. Dwarfs from Copperhead were the first to migrate to [[Ankh-Morpork]].<br /> <br /> Copperhead dwarves have a reputation for being much more friendly to humans and trolls than the more conservative clans mining below [[Überwald]] (the [[Deep-Downers]]), having had to deal with humans from Lancre in trade for many years, and Ankh-Morpork more recently. In Copperhead you can find excellent dwarf [[Thud|thudmeisters]], which surely also contributes to the open attitude of the Copperhead dwarves.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld geography]]<br /> [[de:Kupferkopf]]<br /> <br /> == Annotations ==<br /> The name may be an allusion to the mountain ''Caradhras'' in Tolkien's ''Lord of the Rings'', whose name translates roughly as &quot;Ruddyhorn&quot; or &quot;Coppery-peak.&quot; In the Roundworld, a &quot;copperhead&quot; is a venomous snake (''Agkistrodon contortrix'') native to eastern North America.</div>
