Volcanic Islands
The Volcanic Islands are dominated by one large island with several tiny islands surrounding it just off the coast of the center of Lustria's eastern coastline.
Ecosystem Cycles
All the wildlife has adapted to frequent volcanic eruptions and heavy rains.
A lot of soil gets washed away into the sea, but the volcanos constantly replenish the lost soil. Rather than poison the water, the volcanic runoff helps fertilize many sea plants near the coast which in turns supports vibrant and varied fish which birds and terradons well-fed.
Localized Phenomena
The Volcanic Islands unsurprisingly have lots of active volcanoes. These volcanoes were not accidentally by-products of Chaos but were planned creations set in forth by the Slann at the direction of the Old Ones.
Because the volcanoes were set in motion by the Slann, Skinks can easily divine when and where volcanic eruptions will occur and enter and exit the island safely whereas outsiders are not so lucky.
The area is also heavily warded by Slann magics to protect the City of the Dead.
Climate
Like most of Lustria, the Volcanic Islands are tropical and wet.
Fauna & Flora
The volcanic soil is very fertile. Most of the local flora is made up of fast growing plants that can recover from volcanic devestation quickly. Many of the plants have seeds that only open when exposed to fiery hot temperatures.
The animal life is fairly small by Lustrian standards, involve a lot of burrowing creatures that can find shelter during eruptions or flyers that migrate in and out.
Natural Resources
The soil is fertile but the area is too geothermically unstable to allow agriculture, even Lizardmen run agriculture.
In theory, this would be a good place to fish were it not for the magical warding attacking non-Lizardmen. It's too far out of the way for Lizardmen to come here just to fish.
History
The area has not suffered any major invasions from hostile powers but it has faced several minor incursions from invaders ranging from elves, undead, orcs, to humans. All raids ended disastrously for the invaders.
The skaven never even tried to go after this island. Why would they? They want to steal magical items or kill Lizardmen, raiding a tomb without magical items appeals little to them.
