Important Points
The seasons are extreme. The summer could melt steel while the winters could freeze liquid nitrogen. Dig deep into the ground and you’ll find heat, this is how people kept their homes warm in the winters. Every 3 winters giant magma slugs emerge from the volcano and burn everything within a certain radius acinder. From the ashes bear a fruit with no name; One pirate by the name of Maximus O’russell reached the fruit and thought it would give him eternal life. It did for a short while along with waking nightmares that would frighten the devil. Soon it was too much for him and now he lay comatose with his ship at the bottom of the sea.
Strange vegetation is nothing new to mu however. The ash that constantly sprits from the volcano contains something strange and when infused into the soil it makes something like an orange different shapes and colors. With this exotic vegetation comes exotic wildlife, such as, giant magma slugs, leopards with wings, and hyper aggressive bullet ants. However, in a journal of Maximus’ found by explorers of the continent it states that the animals are not the most pressing matter, but the disease that can inflict you on your stay.
Isolation is what this continent experienced before the first human settlers set foot there. Everything else knew to stay away. The people built homes far away from the volcano hoping it would ease misfortune; The further they strayed the more the bugs grew. Their first year was great, the ash from the volcano has made the soil bountiful and with the heat from below the earth it made the winter bearable. They were getting ready to send envoy to inform the mainland that Mu was habitable when they started getting sick. Tiny black spots appeared on their skin no doubt from where they were getting bit by bugs. Before long they started from their skins thinnest points. No envoy made it back and when they sent more people they decided near the volcano was the safer option.
The journal of Maximus was eventually found by a merchant with massive political power and he read about the nameless fruit. Wanting immortality for himself the merchant pulled all the strings he could to occupy Mu. However, there were already people there and with how much hard work they put into Mu already they did not feel like giving it all up for scraps. The waged for months, the merchant was a coward so there were not many casualties until the mercenaires the merchant hired showed up. They swept onto the field like a natural disater, nobody was even recognizable. The merchant setting foot upon the freezing battlefield, relieved he can finally look for the fruit. Suddenly, the clouds clear, the ground rumbles, and the snow melts. They all look towards the volcano and see mountains of slugs pouring out and devastating the land. The merchant did not get the fruit, The journal lay somewhere waiting for another to find it.
