Calorus
Realm of Infernos
Introduction
Red skies filled with four distant suns bake the cracked and bladed ground of Calorus, warning all Realmhopping fools to flee as soon as they peer in. Mountains, volcanos, and cliffs are the only company to the endless horizons one would see should they enter into this realm. Believed to be the home and throne of the Primordial Fire, it is only kept from bursting into a brilliant conflagration by the forces of Primal Air that tear at the boundaries to bring in other forms of elemental energy. When the Fire Elementals are not attempting to snuff out this interference, they seek to invade other Realms for something new to burn up.
Geography
The once beautiful seas of Calorus boiled and dried, as Fire conquered the realm and brought in new suns to the skies. This caused the lands to crumble until the only distinguishing separations of the expanses were bladed mountain ranges and flowing rivers of lava. The lone plateau known as the Aiery Hold is the last bastion of elemental energies beyond Fire.
Atmospheric Conditions
Calorus' skies are a wild torrent of windstorms and smoke clouds that can choke out the power of the suns. These conditions provide the Elementals the ability to fly, and the ability to reach unbelievable speeds. A constant smoke cloud over the Aiery Hold dampens the Primal Fire, allowing the bastion some protection. Rumors believe that when Fire was conquering the lands, it reached into the skies to ignite the moon into a brilliant new sun. As such, there has been no sight of the moon in Calorus' skies since The Eternal Flame left.
Sophonts
Crumbling ruins of a forgotten or destroyed civilization are the only reminders that this realm once held sophontic life. These sophonts were masters of all three forms of magic, but their works are left forgotten and charred to pieces. Any knowledge that could be salvaged from this realm would come at a steep, almost impossible cost.

Yeah, I don't think I want to visit this place. Seems a bit warm for me.
