Pictures of the South
IMAGE
The Southern Continent still remains a dark mystery. It is divided into 9 regions that bear dark names: Devil's Isle where the people live, the Dead Forest, the Barren Cliffs with the haunted lighthouse, The Swamp -so terrifying it doesn't need an adjective-, the Ancient's Desert with the Pagan Pyramid, the Deserted Hills where the dead roam around, the Wild Sea and the Screaming Cliffs.
Devil's Isle is the great island
located in Midnight Bay. Since the skies are scorched on the South of Lyria
it is always lit by torchlight. The light of the torches and the absolute
darkness of the main continent -to human eyes that is- makes the Isle seem
like a gate to Hell.
Devil's Isle is also the main adoption site. Eggs are stolen from the wild
dragons in the continent for the wild clutches and now and again there is a
regular clutch.
The two dragons that call the Isle home are the Demons, though they tend to
wander and the Dark Magics.
IMAGE FOREST
The Dead
Forest takes up quite a lot of space on the Southern Continent. It forms the
heart of the landmass and was the place where the first dark dragons were
born. It is riddled with caves, underground lairs and dead wood woven to
impregnable walls where creatures hide in the eternal night. The forest
might be one of the safest places on the South, which still doesn't say much
since one run in with a Night or Crow means you can bid your life farewell.
Among the dragons of the Southern Continent the Nights and Crows are the
ones most commonly found in the Forest.
IMAGE CLIFFS
The Barren
Cliffs are a flat rocky outcrop to the South. At the very tip of it stands a
Lighthouse that was built in the old ages before humans came to Lyria. It
was made with Dark Magic Dragon Magic. It is always activated and emits a
strange dark black light that illuminates all that is good in it's rays.
These cliffs were the first to be explored. You can see miles in every
direction and posses a steady ground for running. The barren cliff got their
name because all that will grow there is a strange type of dry greenish
moss.
Dragons that like it there are the Dwarfs and the Wolves that hunt them. In
the haunted lighthouse the ghosts of dead dragons mourn their dead while
Seducers lure new victims into their waiting claws.
IMAGE SWAMP
The Swamp is
the most dangerous area of the Southern Continent. Not even demons go in
there if they don't have to. It is a maze riddled with deadly trap holes and
quicksand that suddenly appears under foot. These moving patches of oblivion
were the first reason to leave the Swamp alone. The second were rumours
about an unknown dragon species so deadly no-one has ever seen it and left
with his lives intact...
Those brave enough to search the swamp have made note of two dragons native
to the place. The oozing Swamp dragons and the light, agile Grims.
IMAGE DESERT
The Ancient's
Desert is a dry forsaken place with sandstorms and ever changing patterns of
dunes. It has an eerie kind of beauty, the type that you prefer to see from
a comfortable place at home. It looks unusually colourful for the South, but
the shades of yellow, orange and red soon fade from the mind and are
replaced by visions of the so wanted blue to appear at the horizon.
The Southern desert isn't a place where dragons easily survive. The life
that it does host is centered around the pagan pyramid where the mummies and
scarabs live.
IMAGE HILLS
The Deserted
Hills are rumoured to be the home of Death himself. People and dragons tend
to vanish more often in these parts of the Southern Continent than anywhere
else in all the South, not even the number of newbies dieing in alleys on
Devil's Isle can compete with these numbers. Hence it was the ideal place to
put the Shack, the all time place to get your provisions for your dragon.
Small to Medium dragons are advised to go in groups while the large dragons
are monitored to stay solitary as to not form murderous groups... but even
these sometimes vanish.
These hills are a home to two kinds of dragons. The ever grazing demon goats
and the deadly reapers.
IMAGE SEA
The Wild Sea
is a large bay riddled with rocks and whirlpools. If the sea had been
anywhere else on Lyria the bottom would be littered with sunken ships, but
as it is no-one is foolish enough to try sail these waters. There is no
telling where the rocks or whirlpools will be because they tend to move over
night.
Stories tell of a land that was there long ago, before the meteors struck.
They say there were elaborate cities there that were swallowed by the raging
seas while other parts of the South were lifted up out of the water. They
also say the ruins are still guarded by dragons, but who knows?
Dragons roaming the Wild Sea are the Chaos Dragons and the Whirlpools.
IMAGE SCREAMING
The Screaming
Cliffs rise high in the air starting at the end of the Deserted hills and
down to the Wild Sea where they gradually seize to exist. They form a small
barrier between the sea and the land. Large caves have been formed in the
giant walls by waves crashing against them in stormy weather. There is a lot
of that around the Cliffs.
The Cliffs got their name from the screaming that can be heard there. The
spirits of a drowned city and the diving dragons that try to save them still
perform their little unending act of history as each night the divers try to
reach their loved ones but cannot find them in the dark of the overcast
skies.
Dragons hatched at the Cliffs are the Divers and the Drowned Dragons.
