Makrak is a diverse region of both danger and peace in balance. The region is mapped by Asolaris, but it is a home region to the Danthical race. Makrak shores spread across the south and east. In the background, one can see at least five islands. The middle of this region is entirely filled with forests and plains, only on the north deadly deserts spread while on the south mountains tower over the beautiful nature. Behind the mountains, jungles grow.
Heaven’s Peak is the hottest environment on Makrak, spanning across the northern shorelines of the continent. Its dry terrain is covered in crystal formations that formed because of toxic rain that often occurs in the land, besides that, numerous dead volcanoes were once the main producers of its toxic air. As the volcanoes have died out, the air becomes clearer, which brings the opportunity to explore the land further.
Heaven’s Peak is filled with hostile predators that prey on one another in an endless cycle of life and death. Despite the enchanting beauty, the land itself and the creatures inside offer nothing but danger. The only thing protecting other continents from this danger is the fact that said creatures have become too used to the aggression of the environment, so they can’t adapt to calmer conditions.
The sauna of Heaven’s Peak consists of deadly plants that feed on insects, but if big enough, they can feed on creatures that were too unfortunate to get stuck in their offspring.
The temperatures in this region reach 34°C. The wind is strong, but rain is very unlikely. The terrain is very varied with igneous rocks that formed as a result of volcanic activity. The region is packed with rich materials and fossils that hold value to the Danthical society. Volcanic activity and shifting of tectonic plates have rendered this region hollow with many different caves, ravines, and lava tunnels. These have been left unexplored and abandoned, given how deadly they are. In the past, these caves were used as escape routes by certain danthical groups persecuted by the monarchs.
Many different species contribute to the region’s unique fauna, most of which are locked to the region itself, as the harsh, unwelcoming conditions have become the key to their survival.
Molewyrms are a distinct species dwelling in the depths of underwater ravines, resurfacing only when they crave nutrients that cannot be found in their deep burrows. Molewyrms are opportunistic cannibals, and just like Earth’s vultures, they can digest bones with ease. Molewyrms have evolved to digest anything they eat and take all nutrients out of it, and so, their territories may be recognized by completely pale feces.
Their squishy insides are protected by thick shells made out of silicate irons, allowing them to endure the hot temperatures of their habitat.
Small, yet enduring birds that dwell in the highest peaks of Haven’s Peak are called Dust-Dodos. These birds are harmless and live atop the tallest dust-corals, eating their polyps as their primary source of food. Dust-Dodos live in small flocks ranging from six to eight members, with a single male leading it. Dust-Dodos have a loud call similar to the White Bellbird, and they contribute to polluting Haven’s Peak with the polyps of different coral species.
The crystal structures of Heaven’s Peak attract many collectors, but since the majority have been collected by humans and other species, they’ve become protected and illegal to collect. They hold no value in the industry, as they are made up of acidic, crystalized formations. Heaven’s Peak is rich in silicates, tungsten, sulfuric acid, and high amounts of sulfur and hydrogen carbon. Given the high pressure, the deepest layers of Heaven’s Peak are stacked with diamonds, but their location is entirely inaccessible due to high temperatures reaching 700°C to 1,200°C.
No true living society occupies Heaven’s Peak due to its uninhabitable conditions. A lost tribe of Volcanic Danthicals have once inhabited this region, but there are no traces of them anymore.
The Roaring Peaks is a volcanic chain of landmasses; the wildlife here is mostly amphibious to take advantage of the overflowing waters. The environment is tropical, but also scorched by the high volcanic activity, along with being fragmented by frequent earthquakes. The volcanoes here are in a constant state of eruption and activity, for millennia the volcanoes here have wept lava across the region. The lava flows are so ancient that even though they’re still molten and on fire, wildlife and brush have adapted and grown around the lava flows. Despite the fact that the region is always in a state of eruption, wildfires are rare as life has come to coexist with the constant eruptions. Allowing the land to be both lush, and also bathed in lava.
The eruptions also help in biodiversity. The eruptions release rare minerals in abundance, allowing life to take advantage of unique resources. Some animals here are so used to intaking crystals and rare metals that some animals have parts of their bodies made of the metals so abundant in the Roaring Peaks. Some animals have also highly specialized themselves to the lava, some are capable of walking on it or swimming inside it.
These lands are also hotbeds for rare metals, known as Lava-Tears. Along with being home to the Volcanic Danthicals once also found in the Heaven’s Bridge.
