Wings of Fire: Beyond the Horizon

Primrose's Guide to the Geography of Solaria

Overview
Solaria is roughly the size of Pyrrhia. The continent is divided into four regions, each occupied by a tribe. The city of Concordia lies in the area where the Silverveil Grove and Pyroclasmic Wastes meet.
Pyroclasmic Wastes
A region known for its high volcanic activity, the Pyroclasmic Wastes are home to the CrimsonWings. The ground is mainly made up of basalt and andesite, covered in a thick layer of dark gray ash. Pillars of obsidian extend out of the ground up to forty feet high, piercing the red, ash-filled sky. Geothermal vents are sometimes found on the hills of the region. Occasionally, areas of the ground are known to become incredibly weak and suddenly spray lava like a geyser into the air. The Wastes have six volcanoes, arranged in a hexagonal formation around the center of the region. Temperatures throughout the Pyroclasmic Wastes range from 74 degrees to 242 degrees.
Silverveil Grove
A region covered in ashbark trees, the Silverveil Grove is a large forest that is home to the DemiWings. The ground is made of soft, medium gray grass, which is typically obscured by snow, which never melts. Oddly, it seems to snow and rain at the same time. The trees that make up the forests of the Grove have charcoal-colored leaves with ashy bark. They give off natural heat and have strange, naturally occuring patterns embedded in their bark. The sky in this region has a strange green-gray hue. Strange, shadowy creatures that look nothing like dragons have been seen in this area, as well as unusual animal behaviors. Certain trees can grow in this region, which are somehow made of obsidian glass. They naturally grow obsidian orbs, which DemiWings are said to be able to use as conduits to cast magical spells. Temperatures range from 20 degrees to 64 degrees.
Solstice Mountains
A region consisting almost entirely of mountains and hills, the Solstice Mountains are home to the PeakWings. The mountains typically have brown or gray coloring, with white snow falling year-round. The air is thin here due to the elevation, which may cause some dragons difficulty when breathing. Temperatures range from -37 degrees to 4 degrees. There is rumored to be a large ravine in this region, which leads to an extremely dangerous cave system known as the Caustic Caverns. In the Caustic Caverns reside dangerous creatures, extremely volatile acid, large drops, and even a rumored pathway to the caverns of the CavernWings tribe.
Violet Valley
A region of harsh desert, the Violet Valley is home to the SunWings. The sand in this desert is purple, and despite the hot temperatures of the region, is cold to the touch. Many dangerous creatures live here, as well as the SunWings. Any Concordian explorer is advised not to attempt exploration, as the SunWings may attack them, and the harsh temperatures make exploration ill-advised. Between the SunWings, the creatures, and the extreme heat, the Violet Valley is undoubtedly a very dangerous environment that should be avoided at all costs. At times, snow can fall here, which does not melt under the heat of the sun. Temperatures range from -63 degrees during nighttime, to 194 degrees during daytime.
