I had a random idea to focus on a unique part of my fantasy world for Summer Camp so I spent a few nights working on the map. I present to you, the Rovia region of the Moon Izi:
 

  The Moon Izi is a frozen and molten hellscape. Vast regions of the world are covered in sulfuric snow, endless salty flats, blackened volcanoes, and of course, lava. Lots and lots of lava. Frozen acid lakes dot the surface of the world and water is extremely rare on the surface. Various exotic forms of life live on this world, gathering around the lava and acid lakes. Fire Elves survived the great cataclysm at the end of the Silver Age and they have been building a civilization underground ever since. Their great cities are built around so-called Stable Stones that protect them from the volcanism around them. The elves here worship the fire god Beirunes, once known as The Great Destroyer.
 

  I am planning to entirely focus on this moon during Summer Camp, have all the articles link to each other in some way, and tell a mini story throughout all of them. I'll make a proper pledge article later in the month (and also properly upload the map to the site).
  I wrote an article about this world during WorldEmber last year and it should serve as a pretty good primer for this whole thing:
 
The Moon Izi
Geographic Location | Jul 5, 2024

the Moon Izi is the closest moon to the planet Tarsuros, and the second smallest. It is a volcanic sulfurous hellscape, inhospitable to human life...


 

  Also, the map might look a bit familiar.... This is because the moon Izi is directly based off of the real moon Io, just with approximately 348% more fantasy!
