The Dead Land
In the west lies a small island in between the continents, Zidia, and Grast. The island is protected by its surrounding mountain wall, leaving no way into the island. These mountains are a tough climb and have proven perilous to many explorers. However, there is intrigue for what lies beyond the wall. At all times, every twenty seconds or so, thunderous roars from within. The way the mountains obscure the view of the island makes determining the source of the sound impossible.
No storm is visible from outside, although it is the simplest explanation, even a never-ending storm seems illogical to most. Storms come and go, right? There must be a more reasonable explanation. When the thunder roars, stripes of light spill out from above the mountains, leading this to be the most fitting explanation. The theory is that it is not a storm at all, but instead, Dead Thunder.
Geography
The island is completely surrounded by highly dangerous mountainous terrain. The sky above the island is constantly covered in dark clouds causing an endless night. There is a lake in the centre of the island, but no grass or plantlife exists elsewhere.
Ecosystem
The lake in the middle of the island is home to much aquatic life and microorganisms. Life cannot naturally occur outside the lake so all food sources are confined to the water.
Ecosystem Cycles
Seasons stay stagnant due to the constant storms so no cycles occur.
Localized Phenomena
The constant lightning storms are unique to the island. This is due to the weather pressure and the humidity caused by the location of the island.
Fauna & Flora
All wildlife natural to the island is aquatic creatures and plants that exist purely in the lake.
Tourism
The island is inaccessible to most people as the mountains are extremely dangerous to climb.
