Gwyn (G-Win)
There is not much known of Gwyn in the larger continent. It has long been believed that the area has long been abandoned because of an ancient disaster. It is considered something of a cursed place by some, and simply a place to disappear to others. Gwyn is located to the north of the continent of Cullaran, and is not easily accessible, as the only access to it by land is a narrow strip that is ridged with high mountains and flanked by a dense twisted forest.
The truth of Gwyn - it is a wild land where large beasts like mammoth’s roam, and few survive. There is some truth behind the tale of an ancient cataclysm that cut Gwyn off from the rest of the continent. This is where the first mages forged and split the elemental stones - granting true magic to the world. This great release of power caused a shift in the land. It made it stark and cold, a place where all elements merge and flow together. As the eons passes, the creatures and peoples of Gwyn became strange, and to some, monstrous. They grew enormous, or tiny. Great quakes would shake the land and flows of molten rock regularly spew from mountains high in the clouds. The parts the meet the sea find harsh crashing waves that scour the land clean with every surge.
The greatest kept secret of Gwyn is that it is the birth place of the dragons. Even they themselves do not know that it was once their homeland. Before the first mages, the dragons were one type of a multitude of colours and abilities. When the world was fractured into distinct ruling elements, the dragons were fractured with it. Due to the desolation of the land, the dragons could no longer live in what was once their home. They fled south, and found the lands they now call home.
Geography
A chaotic mash of desolate tundra plains, rocky volcanic mountains, and roiling sea coasts. A large tall range of mountains blocks the only land entrance to the area.
Ecosystem
Tundra flora survive here with a struggle. Low scrub and trees, some berry bushes, lichen and hearty grasses thrive.
Localized Phenomena
Fantastic electrical and particle storms tear across the land. Regular tsunami's hit the coast lines
