Mount Apathis

Mount Apathis
Mount Apathis, short for Mountain of Apathisissius, is the live and dangerous volcano centering the Asuthil Peninsula. It is the very core and heart of the Peninsula, and the mountains and peaks surrounding the mouth of the Nasha'andaharra desert that protects the evil within the volcano from spreading North into the "Plateau", forming a sort of barrier of sharp and dangerous rock. The desert itself protects Apathis from outsiders looking to out the flame of the "Depths" and take the ????? for themselves.

Stories depict a guardian of Hellis had once conquered the beast within, a dragon wielding immense power and a fire that none could extinguish. They say that as he looked over the desert, he felt no need to return, and made the volcano his tartarus, watching from the top over the desert he claimed for himself, creating a new people and monsters to guard him. Legend says that he will return to Hellis and the rest of civilization with the power of the dragon to display to all. None know whether he remains faithful to his hometown or plans to control the rest of the Peninsula with the power consumed.

Little does the Peninsula know, but the sand is slowly beginning to creep towards the opposite coast, ridding the fertility and life from the terrain, swallowing it and using it as mulch to Apathis' deep. If action isn't taken, the whole Peninsula will be consumed and the apocalypse will consume all of Asuthil.
