The Region of Volcarren in Valhalla.
Volcarren is a hostile volcanic wasteland in Valhalla, and the setting for the Volcarren Wasteland terrain set. There are a few narrow passages where it connects with Kinsland and Anund, and it is bordered on the east by the sprawling jungle region of Ticalla. It is populated and guarded by the Moltarn, whose bodies are primarily comprised of volcanic matter themselves.
Geography[]
It is not well-travelled, in part because until near the end of the Rise of the Valkyrie era, it was inaccessible by land. However, undersea volcanoes opened up a land bridge into the area, offering a land path through Volcarren and into Ticalla to the south.
Volcarren Wasteland[]
A specific pass of Volcarren known as the Wasteland exists, and is the only place to land easily from the Molten Sea. The Lava Stone of Volcarren was stolen by Utgar here.[1]
"For most life forms, Volcarren is an uninhabitable land of volcanic activity. Rumors of new wellsprings in this part of Valhalla tempt only the most foolish of warriors to attempt a search for them. One particularly active volcano along the coast has created a peninsula of land that extends into the Molten Sea. This rugged strip of land has become known as the Volcarren Wasteland. In spite of its dangerous terrain, this is the only place to land from the Molten Sea."
Searing Pass[]
A lava geyser in a 200-mile stretch known as the Fields of Fire. It was here that the Lava Stone of Volcarren was lost.[2]
"The land of Volcarren is filled with many dangerous and unpredictable conditions, but no area is more deadly than the 200-mile stretch called the Fields of Fire. Filled with hidden geysers of molten lava and cesspools of toxic gasses, this terrain requires an unusually brave and resourceful warrior to successfully complete any mission here."
History[]
Volcarren's volcanoes have only recently, as of the end of the Rise of the Valkyrie era, created enough landmass to allow for safe passage down into Ticalla. Its population of Obsidian Guards was briefly held captive by Utgar when he stole their Lava Stone of Volcarren, but his forces lost it over Searing Pass in transit.[2]
