Land of Fire
The Land of Fire is a catastrophe-ridden fiery expanse of the Realm of Zhor, known to the Volkran'dur as their charred homeland. This volatile region, separated from Vahalzaar after the Sundering, exists as one of the most inhospitable territories across the Aesorian continents. Ever raging with its fury, it boasts a landscape dominated by scorching heat, relentless magma flows, and ashen skies.
The Aesorian Inferno
The Iner (breathale air substance) of the Land of Fire is thick with searing, noxious fumes that choke and burn the lungs. Unpredictable eruptions sporadically paint the horizon with plumes of volcanic ash, obscuring the already oppressive surroundings. Even the small amount of Iner left, consumed by ash, feels like a searing inferno, a constant reminder of the land's hostility. The essence of the Land of Fire is shaped by the volatile temperament of its elemental inhabitants. Elemental beings, creations of fire and molten rock, rage across the landscape, their fiery forms casting flickering shadows across the molten terrain. These fierce creatures are tyrants of this volcanic realm, reigning supreme on lands left unpopulated by Zhor. The land, once the center of an untamed natural ecosystem, now is a complete hellscape. Jagged rock islands pierce the churning sea of magma, offering meager respite from the relentless heat. Yet, even these rocky refuges offer no true safety, for the Land of Fire brooks no respite from its wrathful nature.Life within the Land of Fire
Despite the seemingly insurmountable challenges, the Land of Fire teems with life—albeit adapted to withstand the infernal conditions. The resilient Volkran'dur have carved out an existence in this harsh environment, dwelling both on the surface and within the subterranean recesses known as the Unborn Path. Their survival hinges on mastery of the Th'aranm, a breathing technique taught to every Volkran'dur from youth, enabling them to endure the hostile atmosphere. For outsiders who dare to set foot within the molten realm, their chances of survival hinge precariously on their understanding and adeptness in the Th'aranm technique. Without this essential breathing skill, the Land of Fire can soon result in the suffocating demise of anyone unprepared.General Information
