Geography
The island of Espérer was shaped like a swirling vortex. It is unknown as to whether this was it's original shape, or if the Fall has altered it.
The majority of the island is covered in dense jungles and overgrown forests. Large, erratic mountains and hills dominate the middle part of the island. With the shifting of the lands and the changing of the weather and terrain, it is unknown as to whether villages, such as Eymet, are in the same location as they were when they were founded.
In the north-west is a volcanic region known as the Flammengrotte. Here, the ground is covered in lava, ash and obsidian and a large volcano dominates the area. Supposedly, the monsters that appear on the island are coming from this area.
