Tenzia

Sometimes referred to as the island of extremes, this island is one of the biggest and most diverse places you can find. Most of the island became a scorching desert after a storm of ash buried most of the country 36 years ago. Desert is not the only thing you will find here though. It is home to drowning jungles to frigid Icey fields to active volcano belts. These hostile lands are home to a wide range of creatures almost never found anywhere else. Hulking and deadly beast roam in every corner and claim their territory. The people are not very in tune or fond of magic and might be held back to people who use it. One of the biggest organisations on the island is the hunter’s guild. The hunter’s guild is an association that was formed about 25 years ago to deal with the threat that the new creatures that started appearing on Tenzia posed. Originally it was an extermination force but they soon discovered that the creatures were far too numerous to simply eradicate. Secondly instead of raging around the land destroying everything in their path like the people believed would happen, the creatures instead started forming their own ecosystems, living in harmony with the local wildlife. These creatures take the different biomes created by the portals as their new habitats, where they thrive and make their new homes. After that the guild switched their focus from extermination to research. They would go out and study these creatures to learn more about how they work and maybe where they came from. The creatures hadn’t completely pacified however. Certain species or individuals would occasionally threaten either settled areas or their local ecosystem. This is when the guild dispatches hunters to either repel or slay the creature to retain order across the land. The guild regulates the hunting of monsters to ensure that the ecosystems they’ve created don’t get disturbed or overhunted since the economy now mostly depends on them. Poaching or hunting without a permit is highly illegal and will be punished severely.

Geography

The biggest part of the terrain consists of ash desert, broken up here and there by a rock formation or ruins. Certain areas are twisted through interference of planar portals, changing the landscape. These areas consist of a wide range from lush forests to volcanoes to frigid planes.

Fauna & Flora

The creatures that live here are unique and usually don't live anywhere else. They are hunted by the people that live here either for safety or for resources. They thrive in the chaotic landscape and claim their own territory. Plant life is rare amongst the ash covered planes but thrives in the rift changed zones.

Natural Resources

The special creatures and the materials gathered from them are the main trade goods being traded from the cities. certain ores and plant life only appear here and are traded along side.
