Virghan

"The continent of Virghan is a junkyard of Evernight. Even gods have realized that it is lost forever. Nothing good grows there. All the signs of the civilization in the area are only remnants of the fools who thought that they could best the odds. There is little to no light and the ash and the sand fill every corner that is not frozen. People are brutes who only barely survive in the harsh conditions. So tell me, what do you think we could achieve by sending our ships there?"

Geography

The continent of Virghan is located in the southern parts of Evernight. It is a harsh place covered mostly in snow, sand and ash. The continent is formed like a gaping maw of a beast around the Fool's Bay in the south. The Spine is a large mountain range starting from the southwest and running almost all the way to northeast leaving only small strip of lowlands before facing the sea again. The best habitable areas are located in the northern coast for there are few places of naturally occuring lightstones. In the south the only hint of warmth and light is the Beacon, so the lands are mostly covered in frost and ice. Still there are few stongheaded people living in the southernmost egdes of the continent. The small archipelago of the Lost Prayer is located in the northwestern coast and that can be called the most lush area in Virghan, but it is still a very poor when compared to areas of Isles of Dawn or even Marghuin. There are two larger fresh water pools in Virghan, Mirrorlake in the east and Deepheart in the north. Only truly larger settlement is Drakefort, the capital of Virghan Empire, in the northern coast.

Fauna & Flora

There is little to no flora and fauna in the continent of Virghan. Mostly the environment is too harsh for most of the things to grow or live in there. Few places in the northern coast have naturally occuring lightstones and these areas are the only places to have any kind of agriculture althought the soils is still very poor. Otherwise no normal plants can grow in the continent, and thus there is very few animals as well. The only exceptions are the nightplants, that do not need sunlight for their growth.
