Caldera

Caldera is the third moon of Illon. It is the furthest away. It is volcanic and uninhabitable and has a 91 day lunar cycle. Caldera is associated with the trickster god, Mohtarr. Legends speak of Caldera's destruction being tied to the Prophecy of the Chosen Nine, where Blackrazor must be driven into its core, sparking a cosmic event that could reshape the balance of life and death.

Geography

Caldera's geography is as hostile as it is awe-inspiring. The moon is covered in vast fields of jagged rock, with towering volcanic mountains constantly spewing ash and rivers of molten lava that crisscross its surface. Earthquakes and eruptions are a constant threat, reshaping the land with little warning. The atmosphere is thin and choking, filled with sulfuric smoke and ash clouds that blot out the sky. Deep fissures cut through the landscape, glowing with the eerie light of the molten core below. Amid this fiery wasteland, there are rare oases of relative calm, such as plateaus of solidified magma. The few stable regions are dotted with glowing mineral deposits and strange crystal formations, pulsing with the moon’s volatile energy.

Fauna & Flora

Caldera is inhabited by the Calderans, a species of small rock-like humanoids.

History

In 70 3E, The Chosen Nine learned of a prophecy that stated they need to destroy Caldera before the Harmonic Convergence. The group acquired a Spelljammer and sailed to Caldera. On the way, they were attacked by Nezrabog the Red. They killed him in self defense and then pushed his body off of the ship, sending him into Caldera's orbit.
