Southern Volcanic Flats

return to locations

The Southern Volcanic Flats is a vast region, located on the Strange Continent, that is characterized by its volcanic activity and nomadic, arsi-hunting peoples.

Location
the Southern Volcanic Flats are located in the southern portion of the Strange Continent on top of a giant active volcano.

Features


The Southern Volcanic Flats are intensely hot and dangerous. The ground itself is burning hot, natives must wear special thick-soled shoes in order to keep their feet from burning. Because of its location on a volcano, smake and ash cloud the sky and air, making it hard to see into the distance.

The ground, although flat, can have large wet-fire-filled cracks, or chasms. These chasms are often home to Arsii, which the natives hunt for their scales.



People
The people native to the Southern Volcanic Flats are characterized by their dark, burnt skin, amber hair, and brown eyes. They are descendants of the Zrini race that moved southward into the Flats after Cyclonus conquered the Great Desert. They live in nomadic communities called tribes, which move from chasm to chasm according to Arsii. Because natural resources, such as water, wheat, and wood are not naturally occurring in the Flats, the natives exchange with Auran traders the arsi scales for these resources.
