Danger: Hazardous
Sub zones: Mont Vylkren, hot springs
Inhabitants: lava elementals, fire succubi, silver succubi, cryoks, platinum armadillos, carbon hounds
The Pyrale mountains is a huge volcanic region far to the east of the map, sprawling past the great marshes and farther south. Its most noticeable feature is the cobalt blue stone that it is mostly made of. The mountains are rather hard to travel through and many of its trails are steep with frequent landslides and many chasms and rivers of lava to cross. The mountains are very rich in minerals, metals and gems that are unique to Felarya, and a complex mining network sprawls underground.
For unknown reasons, the soil of the entire region is affected by very strong geomagnetic disturbances and most standard machinery will immediately malfunction when entering the zone. Sometimes a wall of blue stone will suddenly and temporarily becomes a magnet, attracting or repelling metals. People clad in metallic armor will randomly find themselves extremely heavy, pinned in one place until they get rid of their gear, or go flying and get stuck to a wall, sometimes at long distances. Worse, sometimes they are sent flying upward, leaving them vulnerable to avian predators.
Needless to say this magnetic anomaly and the lava make for a deadly combination. The Pyrale mountains are one of the few zones of Felaya where the environment is even more dangerous than its inhabitants. Vegetation is scarce, like one would expect on active volcanos, save for everburning trees and ice flowers.
In the middle of the Pyrale mountains stands an immense volcano: the Mont Vylkren.
Mont Vylkren
Danger: Very High
Inhabitants: lava elementals, fire succubi
The Mont Vylkren is a strange mix between an enormous volcano and a palace, which was sculpted out of the mountain. It's the residence of the lava elemental King Trazix. Several smaller volcanoes are scattered around, each inhabited by a family of lava elementals. During each eruption, both lava and these lava elementals come out. For the elementals it's a good occasion to get out a bit, play, or hunt.
Fire succubi also appreciate the mountain a lot and are warmly welcome there. For most other beings however, entering the palace means instant death because of the scorching temperature, not unlike the Everburning palace of Queen Faldhatée in Hell. Because of this very little is known about this strange volcano.
