Natural Disasters

Are more common in some parts of Terra than in others. As this world offers a wide variety of weathers, climates, and landmasses, there are, as to be expected, a myriad outcomes.

The Sol’s Spine mountain range was created by a series of volcanoes that have sine fallen dormant. While there is the occasional rumble or cloud of smoke, there have been no serious erruptions in several centuries.

Adamar, the vast desert country, is home to only a handful of oasises. As a result, there are several sandstorms a season, with a few causing major damage to the cities that are established.

Along the equator, primarily in the Nypor Sea, especially during the spring and autumn, there is a chance of hurricanes forming. While most ships know to be mindful of travel, there is always the risk of sinking in such storms.

Morgath and Dorath are the northern most countries in all Terra. Alondrol is the southern most country. As such, they are more prone to arctic storms. The northern countries, mostly mountainous, also are at risk for avalanches.

The island nation of Cynsely has occasionally experienced earthquakes. This is primarily due to the two underwater volcanoes on the northern and southern tips of the country.

Throughout Terra there is the possibility of severe thunderstorms. The Free Lands are at risk for wildfires in the mid to late summer and early fall, as a result. Some parts of Iskenderun are also at risk, though the Monster War has left large portions of that country fallow for years to come.

Because of Teshkar’s unique weather and location, it is home to a regular tornado season. Usually occuring in early to mid spring, the occupants have learned how to adapt and thrive.

Occasionally, because of the hurricanes, Ni-Shan experiences tsunamis. Though, in recent memory there have not been any that have caused severe damage to the island nation.

Oracle Isle, on rare occasion, has seen major distruction from typhoons. However, the last one that levelled the temple was more than a century ago.

Heavy rainstorms that cause flash flooding happen occasionally, all across Terra. Blizzards have been known to cause problems on all but the most tropical areas. Hail and drought are not uncommon occurances, though not as severe of late.
