Volcanoa

Volcanoa is the middle southerly kingdom in Eightheria. It is named after its greatest landmark, the great volcano of MattiPatthew. The surrounding area around the volcano is full of small villages and dense forests. The kingdom is mostly calm and involved in very little wars, often remaining nuetral or as a guide to travelers. The volcano itself is large enough to see from over 40 sq. miles. This allows travelers to know where the south is located and also know the location of Volcanoa.

Volcanoa is inhabited by simple folk and few monsters. The wizard Zanthar and the sorcerer Levin reside in this region and tell of their past journeys. Both live on the volcano, Mattipatthew, with Zanthar's tower residing at the midway point and Levin's library just beside it, with a pathway and meeting room connecting the two locations. They use a strange magical power releasing from the volcano to perform their spells and help control the power spread throughout the land.

Even though he is an Elder, Zanthar is not the king, due to fear of citizens finding too much power in him. Instead, he gave that task to one of his old adventuring companions, Sorbagorn.

Due to a wizard and sorcerer living in the region, very few monsters (such as troll, orcs, and goblins) live near there. Most are too afraid to come near the land or were already driven out by Zanthar and Livin. The place was also first taken over by Zanthar and Levin during a long ago adventure to slay a dragon living in the volcano. After the dragon’s fall, many other monsters fled or were destroyed in the restoration of the volcano.
