The Obsidian Ridgelands are a harsh, vertical expanse defined by active volcanic activity and massive industrial city centers. The Iron-Wrought Varr dwell here, their basalt-like skin reflecting the gray and copper hues of their environment. This is a realm of relentless productivity where giant smokestacks compete with mountain peaks for height. Steam power and heavy machinery are the lifeblood of the population, turning the scorched landscape into a thriving hub of metallurgy and engineering.
