Volcanic Desert

Overview
Located in Eskarothi. It's the antithesis to the Eternal Glacier. Dozens of giant volcanoes had gathered in one place, and the story went that the desert of black ashes appeared as the volcanic ashes from those volcanoes stacked up.

It was too hot for Humans to handle, and Mahwa spores died if they tried to reach it.

The Volcanic Desert’s environment was known for its harshness since even the monsters were burnt to death. The severity far exceeded the Eternal Glacier’s cold. At least having a high level would protect the person from the weather of Eternal Glacier. Still, it didn’t work that way in the Volcanic Desert since tremendous fire damage was dealt with continuously the moment one entered the area. To exaggerate it further, the entire area could be considered a volcano.

The volcanic ash has the effect of weakening magic outside the body.
