Mt. Tigerwolf (虎狼山; Korou Zan) is a location in Suikoden.
Overview
A steep and craggy mountain located 500 meters above sea level that is the entrance to the Banner Mountains, it is located in the northern part of the Arlus region, north of the water fortress Shasarazade and the Toruna Canal.
The name “Mt. Tigerwolf” comes from the gold dust miners who wanted to hide the veins of ore deep in the Banner Mountains. They spread rumors that “There are lots of tigers and wolves living in this mountain.” It is also famous for the many bandits that live there. At the peak, Ledon set up an inn and travelers who were on their way to Sarady or the Banner mountains were made to drink poisoned tea, and then their money and goods would be stolen.
Story
Kessler and Ledon, two bandits that reside on Mt. Tigerwolf, run a small inn here. They have been known to invite travelers in and offer them something known as Robber's Tea, to knock them out, and take any valuables they have on them. When Tir McDohl, Odessa Silverberg, Viktor, Gremio, and Cleo were traveling to Sarady to deliver blueprints for the Fire Spears, they stopped at the inn and Ledon offered them some Robber's Tea. He successfully knocked them all out. When Kessler walked in and saw who he had tricked, he scolded Ledon for giving Odessa Robber's Tea, making Ledon prepare an antidote, return all the loot, and let them stay at their inn.

Notes
- You can come here at the start of the game to gain some levels. If you travel alone after meeting with Barbarossa Rugner and go all the way to Sarady you will receive a Fortune Orb. If you stop by your house and take Ted with you, you can receive a Prosperity Orb.
- When the other characters have already moved inside the inn, if Tir attempts to go north without them, Ledon will come out of the inn, and force him inside the inn regardless.
- Tir also cannot refuse the tea. The game will not progress until you accept the tea.
