Scarlands

The Scarlands is a volcanic rift valley east of the Blood Jungle and Sharpspear Mountains. It is highly volcanic and no longer hospitable to life.

The area was home to a highly advanced civilization of dragonborn. Their cities were beautiful, artistic masterpieces, full of learning and culture. The calderic explosion that formed the Fume Sea devastated those cities, blasting them apart and covering them in lava and ash. The few survivors were those dragonborn outside of their homeland: travelers, merchants, adventurers, scholars visiting other lands. A few expeditions have tried to uncover the former glory of the dragonborn, all have left disappointed.

The Fandals
The Fandals were home to reclusive elves. They considered themselves above the lesser races, and looked down on their only peers, the dragonborn, because they showed interest in the younger races. Their xenophobia and reclusiveness proved their undoing: as near as can be told, the elven race was eradicated in the cataclysmic ash and sulphuric rains that followed the eruption.
