Mount Ashvale

Mount Ashvale is the only volcano on the island of Thebia. It's located along the northern shores and it part of the Azun volcano change which extends under the waters of the White Sea and ending with Mount Ashvale.
Mount Ashvale's active caldera stand on 4530 meters above sea level ominously overlooking most of the north shores of Thebia and cutting the Rhionnathan Mountain range in half.
The Ealari being the only people inhabiting the high mountains of the range have a very interesting relation with the volcano. Its ash makes the high valleys around it extremely fertile which is the reason that most mountain dwellers can survive on such high and unfriendly peaks. On the other hand its violent and quite common explosions kill many and poison the air for weeks and weeks.
The Ealari believe that the peak itself is protected by the fire spirits of Ashvale. Many tell tales of beautiful undressed women covered in pitch black and bright yellow paint that seduce men and that many never return while others who manage to escape return having aged backwards in time becoming very young children 2 to 3 years of age by the time they are back.

Geography

The sides of the mountains are filled with rivers of thick scortching hot lava and hole in the ground which sip out poisonous gases. Rough and hard to climb the mountain is also an extrordinary resource for Adium crystal materials and the recently understood crystals that, when charged allow objects to levitate.

Ecosystem

The mountain itself is mostly barren with a small amount of rodents and insects able to survive its very toxic gases and super heated molten rocks.
