Edge of the World

The Edge of the World is an area of mountainous rocks south-west of the Core. It has earned a reputation for being utterly inhospitable.

Geography
The Edge of the World is wedged in between the southern shores of the Alfaxmos Imperium (from where the summit can be seen on clear days) and the westernmost boundaries of Barony control.

At the center sits a large mountain which gives the surrounding area its name. Steep and considered unassailable, it has facilitated the failure and/or dissappearance of every expedition sent to explore and climb it.

The mountain is surrounded by porous, sheer cliffs. Around the cliffs lies miles of churning waters, concealing the sharp, craggy rocks just beneath the surface.

Climate
The Edge of the World is wracked by constant thunderstorms and thick layers of fog. It maintains temperatures between freezing cold and moderately cool.

Dangers
The Edge of the World has earned a reputation for being utterly inhospitable. Storms throw ships off course, choppy waters make navigation difficult, craggy boulders and reefs tear hulls to bits, and omnipresent fog exacerbate these problems. The sheer cliffs, steep slopes, wind, and constant rock slides make climbing almost impossible.

All attempts to reach the summit have met with universal failure.
