The Continent of Furlow

The Continent of Furlow is one of the Five Continents that exist on Orion. It is located to the West of the Main Continent, and is by day a scorching desert, but by night, turns into a frozen tundra. None have been able to explain why this is such, or why it happens directly as the Sun dips beneath the sandy dunes or rises above the snowy dunes. Due to this nature, townes have devised several ways to keep their townes and citizens warm or cooled, by using special wards and magics to counteract the effects. Those who travel outside the townes must wear special equipment to protect them or rest at many of the sites set up to stay warm or cool. Many treasures are rumored to be beneath the sand and snow, and may tombs and caves are sealed off depending on the time of day or night. There are 3 major cities on Furlow, Alseid, Lint, and Nendrin. There are not too many cities, but more like outposts instead. Nendrin is the Capital of Furlow, but one of the 5 Kings resides in Alseid instead.

Geography

The Geography on the Continent of Furlow is a Extremely heated Desert, and by night a Winter Tundra. During the day, it can get to temps of 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and down to -50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Many caves and tombs exist in Furlow, but some are only accessible depending on the day or night. The Dunes of sand shift to snow and vice versa within seconds through some unknown means.

Fauna & Flora

Fauna does not truly grow here due to its Biome and climate. Plants do not even grow in caverns underneath the dunes. Not many beasts or wildlife exist here. However some wildlife have adapted to living in the hellish Biome that exists on the Continent of Furlow. They have both resistance to heat, and cold due to this evolution. They have also adapted to how huge they are and often are a bit bigger due to adapting.

Natural Resources

The Continent of Furlow does not have many natural resources residing inside of it due to its Biome. It does have access to several Ice Caverns that reside under the surface that show up when the Continent shifts to night. During the day, are several mirages that seem to have some otherworldly ability to interact with the world and be interacted with. As well as both give access to tombs depending on the day or night. However, many ice ponds around the continent give way to the ability to fish for giant sea beings.
