((A map of the terrian of the world but this is ALL I have now for the setting of Underscape XD wanted a more dreary firey world of terrian then expected :3 enjoy and excuse my sucky map making skillz XD))

Underscape Terrain in brief

The world of Underscape is a land of fire, rock, and very little plant-life. What plant-life that there is usually is black in color, dead, rotting, or mostly bog or moor life. It is a rough world that does not offer much safety beyond the walls of the city states from not only the atmosphere but from the countless mutated monstrosities ,called the irregulars as a slang term, that wander the wilds. Technology is prevalent and is seen across the world in large heaps of rubbish creating dump slums of folk who cannot afford to live in the city and fend for their very lives everyday.

Surrounding the landmass are oceans of magma as far as the eye can see that put out immense heat and fumes. These fumes allow for vehicle to be created that run on using the updrafts of fumes to glide and even hover in spots above the magma. Ships made of the fire blasted obsidian can skim across them and use the rises and fall of magma to jet across to reach areas. Along the coast, magma surfing is a very popular sport but very dangerous.

The single faint sun is never seen unless there is a break in the smoke covered sky. It is very distant from the planet, the only thing that keeps the temperatures warm and sometimes unbearable hot is the constant volcanic action of the planet. Most of it is unexplored and civilization only extends really as far as the city states. Outside their walls small dump slums exist but they just barely rise above dog eat dog. No one has mapped out the fire wastes. No one has crossed the great sea of magma to see what may lie out there. So much remains unfound. Civilization faces annihilation everyday and yet they continue to move ahead.

Rain happens due to the large amounts of moisture in the air helping to keep heat in the planet and it is harvested more often by dew collectors posted out. In some places in the inner continent there are frost spells that happen that make it easier to collect water. Water is a commodity and it is not often used for bathing purposes unless you are very wealthy. Having a lot of water gives you a lot of power and hence why the city states are able to maintain their self sufficient due to the amount of collectors they can put up for their citizens.

Regions: ((In dark grey or black)
There are six regions in Underscape of various sizes and are the home to a host of lifeforms the majority of which are not sentient. The dominant race is humans who have adapted and thrived in the city states and in the dump slums.

The Fire Wastes
This is a barren region to the north of the Razor Teeth that is made up of cooling magma and geysers. A toxic place that very few have ventured into and even fewer have left to tell the tale. It is the home to the mysterious and rare soul eaters who make their homes and villages on these wastes unbothered by human contact but very rarely seen. It is unexplored and no one knows for sure where it ends.

The Desolate Moors
The largest region and the one that covers the most area in the interior. It is a colder and desolate as the name would say. In places not close to lava frost can form when temperatures drop low. There is few plants; just lichen, a few struggling twigs of trees, thorny bushes, and crab grass. The land is covered with the remains of failed colonies, dump slums, and old war machines from when the city states attacked each other and left rotting remains behind.

The Overshadow
A region of toxic fumes released from the earth but heavy enough that it remains pooled sitting in the valley created by the wailing wall and the Broken Teeth. No living being can survive in that toxic valley for long and it is unknown what resides in there. The most terrifying creatures from the depths crawl forward out of it and has led to many legends about it leading to the very bowels of hell.

The Magma Reef
The magma reef seems to make of two large islands and hundreds of small islands. They are somewhat cooled magma that floats on the surface of the sea crashing into the larger islands forming somewhat a new landmass. It is a very volcanic and hot place and water is very rare to find thus the employment of many collectors. Other then the two city states there are no outlying dump slums.

The Wagashi Bogs
These boglands have the majority of plant-life able to be found in Underscape although most of it may be rotting away in the toxic warm land. Geyser have constantly come up in the place covering it in a fine mist of hot water and other super heated elements. The plants adapted growing out of these pools, some now stagnant into twisted black trees and other bizarre plants. A few grow tobacco and make a killing for its high demand across the continent. This watery foggy, warm bog is filled unseen dangers and more then once people have gone missing without a trace.

The Obsidian Barrens
A land devoid of any plant life and is nothing but cooling and red hot rocks as far as the eye can see. It is completely flat and the cooling rocks create powerful updrafts that allow for aerial travel to be quite simple. It is the technological center of things as far as city states go for its ready supply of minerals on the surface that are easily accessed without much mining that goes deep into the earth. It is also a land with more access to the magma oceans to sail out on.

Mountains: ((In blue))
There are two dominant mountain ranges, the Razor Teeth and the Broken Teeth. The Broken teeth to the south are smaller, more worn down and are filled with dormant volcanoes. They are still very tall in their own right but compared to the Razor Teeth in the north they are not even in the same comparison level.
The Razor Teeth are highly active mountains prone to great earthquakes and eruptions. They are growing rapidly every year and pour magma into the Dagone Ravine and the Fire Wastes. There are very few permanent passes through them. Those that exist are maintained by the nearest city state and some are in poor condition due to cheap material and shoddy workmanship.

Ravines: (In light orange, serve as 'rivers' in Underscape))
There is very little waterways in Underscape that are made or collected from the amount of vapor in the air and carried in pipes in the city states. In dump slums all water is collected from the air and is a valuable commodity.
Instead of rivers, lava flows gush forth in large ravines that cut through the land in two major ravines. Smaller lava rivers usually dry up within a few years and are not as permanent as the two major ones: The Red Scar and the Dagone Ravine.

The Red Scar is the shorter of the two although it is much wider and more volcanic. It is also not as deep making it a much warmer area to be around.

The Dagone Ravine is the longest one splitting the continent it is believed in two halves. It is extremely deep in parts and figured to be the oldest active ravine in the known world. It is a major source of rising thermals for flying vehicles and a major road of transportation between cities that is safer then by foot.


City States: ((In white or light grey))

The city states are independent nations in themselves. Although small each one sustains itself and relies on trade with others sometimes breaking into open wars. The cities each have a their own governments and what not but under this lies the Foremen. The Foremen are black market crime bosses that truly control trade interested on making a killing in money to strengthen the city without being brought to the spotlight as the real men behind the power. A foreman is NEVER a woman.

Trade is carried out either by foot or air. Air is used if there are ravines to go by but without the uplift of heat air travel in the core of Underscape is fairly hard and nearly impossible. By foot is hiring a heavily armed convey or forming a merchant train to head out to a city. It is unwise to go alone and it is even suicidal unless you are sufficiently trained in travel in the wilds. The major highways are not kept up leaving them vastly broken down in places. Only around city states is their somewhat of an effort to maintain roadways and bridges.
