Myrddyn
Myrddyn is a large continent mostly surrounded by ocean, but an archipeligo of rocky islands seems to link it to the mainland. The waters between them can be quite shallow, but making the journey of foot would be impossible.
Even from a distance, the jagged black-rock coastlines of Myrddyn give a fair warning of what can be found ahead. Rocky terrain rises into rugged mountains towards the discontented heart of the island. Filled with fiery plumes and boiling craters, the central mountain range clearly will not rest until it has your full attention. Older, dormant volcanoes testify in silence that the ancient furies are still at work, and have not yet been satisfied. The slopes continue to be inundated by soot and ash, and waves of poisonous gas. The results of overflowing lava gives a clear picture of the danger and unpredictable nature of this restless force.
As the landscape falls away from the cracked and crumbling central volcanic spires, it becomes more typical of temperate mountain ranges. Sheer cliffs, rocky outcroppings, sprawling valleys, and twisting canyon rivers wind their way towards the forested and jungled hills and plains that blanket the outskirts of the island. Leafy canopies and tangled jungles provide a rich environment for most of the common wildlife here. The overall rich volcanic soil creates an unusually diverse flora all over the land. In some low lying areas, salt water glades reach deep into the green landscape. Lakes shimmer through the thick overgrowth, and rivers and streams trickle their way lazily among the giant trees and rolling hills.
As the greenscape meanders on it's way towards the ocean, the rugged coastline creates a beautiful variety of beaches, rocky breakers, and coves in every direction. Overlooks, cliffs, collapsed rockfaces, caves, and barrier islands present a variety of micro-environments along the coast.
