Myrskir

Myrskir is a continent in Aerois which can be found in the southwest. It is plagued by the Valley of the Storms - a magical ever-present storm that occasionally roves over the land.

Geography

In the center of the continent is a mountain range called the Stormwall. This mountain range contains the storm most of the time. The rest of the main landmass is full of rocky hills and valleys. Only low-lying hearty vegetation is able to stand the constant barrage of wind and rain. The northern peak is home to a small swampy area while the southern tip is snowy tundra.

Ecosystem

The entire ecosystem has had to adapt to the constant barrage of wind, rain and lightning. The vegetation mainly consists of grass and hardy low-lying vegetation like juniper bushes. The people of Myrskir is a melting pot of races and cultures and they are all unified in their survival against the deadly storm. All of their houses have either been built into the earth or made of stone. Myrskir is also the home of the Aaracokra who reside mainly in the storm wall.

Localized Phenomena

The magical Storm found in the Valley of the Storms has existed since The Dark War. Legends say that it was caused by H'espa in anger but the true cause of the storm varies with each person who tells the story. It is nearly impossible to travel through the magical storm. The wind and lightning threaten to tear anyone apart and knock people off course. However, there are stories of young Aaracokra attempting to cross in a rite of passage to prove themselves as the best in the Messenger Guild.
