The Pyreaxian Highlands are an endless expanse of obsidian peaks and rivers of molten rock. The atmosphere is a heavy, shimmering haze of heat that can melt lesser metals. Mythic energies pulse through the geography, causing mountains to drift and lava to flow uphill. Life here is hard and transient, dominated by nomadic clans that navigate the shifting cinder-wastes. It is a land where fire is the only constant and survival is a test of will.
