'''Mount Törött''' is a mountain in the region of [[Asźod]], on the planet [[Reach]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Radio|HR|Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 1 - Breakpoint|Breakpoint radio conversation}}

==History==
===Rise of humanity===
Reach was [[Human colonies|colonized]] by the [[Unified Earth Government]] in [[2362]]. At some point following its colonization, a number of [[Asźod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking yards]] were established nearby.{{Ref/Map|HR|Boneyard}}

===Human-Covenant war===
By the time of the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Orbital defense generator|generator]] facilities used to power Reach's [[orbital defense platform]]s were constructed in the general vicinity of Mount Törött, presumably somewhere in the Asźod region.{{Ref/Reuse|Radio}}

On [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]] when [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Red Team]] was deployed from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to defend the orbital defense generators from the Covenant invasion forces, [[Pelican]] [[Bravo 001]]'s [[Mitchell|pilot]] broadcasted a [[distress call]] which was received by [[Golden Arrow]], a [[radio]] operator in close proximity to the generators. Bravo 001 requested the location of the LZ, and Golden Arrow instead directed Bravo 001 to head toward Mount Törött in order to evacuate as the LZ was too hot. However, Bravo 001 reiterated that her orders were strict and that she had to drop the Spartan-IIs at Golden Arrow's location, and that the Pelican would not even hold together long enough to make it as far as the ship-breaking yards.{{Ref/Reuse|Radio}}

Meanwhile, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' docked at the ship-breaking yards nearby Törött, to receive a fragment of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] from the three remaining members of [[NOBLE Team]], [[Carter-A259]], [[Emile-A239]] and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]], who were tasked with ferrying it to the ship from [[SWORD Base]].{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}}{{Ref/Level|Id=PoA|HR|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn}} After making their way through [[Covenant]]-occupied territory to reach the ship, and losing Carter on the way, Noble Six and Emile delivered the fragment of Cortana to [[Jacob Keyes]], the captain of the ship. However, Emile was killed by a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] moments after, and Noble Six was forced to remain behind to cover the ship's escape from an approaching {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} with a nearby [[Mark 2488 Onager]] emplacement. The Spartan-III was successful, and the ship managed to break atmosphere unscathed.{{Ref/Reuse|PoA}} Now alone, without any support or possibility of evacuation, Noble Six was eventually overwhelmed by Covenant forces and killed near the foot of Mount Törött.{{Ref/Level|Id=LW|HR|Lone Wolf}}

Having won the battle, the Covenant proceeded to [[Glassing|glass]] the planet, including the area surrounding Törött.{{Ref/Reuse|LW}}{{Ref/Level|HR|Winter Contingency}}

===Post-war===
In the aftermath of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Unified Earth Government marked Reach as a priority target for [[Terraforming|reterraforming]] and recolonisation.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=23}} The planet made a significant ecological recovery, and the area surrounding Törött became verdant and lush with vegetation. By [[2589]], the area was habitable again and an [[unidentified colony ship]] landed in Asźod, at the base of the mountain, and commenced recolonization of the area. At this point, the mountain was covered in snow.{{Ref/Reuse|LW}}

==Production notes==
[[File:HINF Reach ONI Base Concept.jpg|thumb|250px|''[[Halo Infinite]]'' concept art of an ONI facility near the base of Mount Törött.]]
During the [[development of Halo: Reach|development]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Mount Törött was referred to as the "Saw Tooth Rock Formation."{{Ref/Site|Id=Storyboards|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nJ5xD4|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo:Reach - Story & Cinematic Notebooks|D=09|M=10|Y=2025}}

While Mount Törött is never explicitly named in ''Halo: Reach'', it can be inferred via several contextual clues given in the [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|radio conversation]] on the multiplayer map [[Breakpoint]]. In the conversation, [[Golden Arrow]] advises [[Bravo 001]] to head for Mount Törött, and Bravo 001's response indicates that the mountain is beyond the "boneyard."{{Ref/Reuse|Radio}} The multiplayer map [[Boneyard]] is set in the Asźod ship-breaking yards, which are overlooked by the "broken mountain" prominently featured in ''Halo: Reach''.  Additionally, "Törött" is a word in [[Wikipedia:Hungarian language|Hungarian]], meaning 'broken,' a fitting name for the mountain. Taken together, it can be reasonably inferred that the broken mountain heavily emphasized is in fact Mount Törött as named in the radio transcript.

The mountain's visage is used as the basis of the icon for [[Season 1: Noble]] of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.

A piece of concept art created for ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' featured Mount Törött, implying that it (and Reach as a whole) may have been intended to appear in the game at some point during its development.
