Amusa, the Land of the Lost, is a continent like no other. Nestled between the fire and earth elemental planes, Amusa has an eternal autumn, one that never fades and is blanketed in mysterious fog. This fog creeps from the south, and is believed to come from the astral plane, bringing with it lost souls from times long past. The land itself is varied and extreme, with craggy mountains, dangerous swamps, sink holes, and canyons.

The south is known for its active volcanoes and steamy magma fields, making exploration a treacherous undertaking. The warmer north is home to many homesteads, small farming towns, fishing villages, and a handful of small cities built up around tourist destinations. The winds coming down from the Northwest and Breme offer a mild respite to the fog, dispersing it and leaving behind a pleasant autumnal atmosphere.

This area is known for its export of harvest squashes, gourds, vegetables, and flowers. The labyrinth of interconnected cave and tunnel systems were a haven for races during the BR era, and the active geology creates a sense of ever-changing danger and mystery. It's no wonder that Amusa has gained its unfortunate nickname, the Land of the Lost. Those brave enough to choose this continent as their permanent home are attuned to the ever-changing land and its secrets.

-Amusa, the Land of the Lost, is a diverse continent. Settled between the fire and earth elemental planes, Amusa is the continent of endless autumn. In only one year out of the four year cycle will Amusa experience just a hint of the wintery blasts coming down from the Northwest and Breme.
+'''Amusa''', the Land of the Lost, is a continent like no other. Nestled between the fire and earth elemental planes, Amusa has an eternal autumn, one that never fades and is blanketed in mysterious fog. This fog creeps from the south, and is believed to come from the astral plane, bringing with it lost souls from times long past. The land itself is varied and extreme, with craggy mountains, dangerous swamps, sink holes, and canyons.
+The south is known for its active volcanoes and steamy magma fields, making exploration a treacherous undertaking. The warmer north is home to many homesteads, small farming towns, fishing villages, and a handful of small cities built up around tourist destinations. The winds coming down from the Northwest and Breme offer a mild respite to the fog, dispersing it and leaving behind a pleasant autumnal atmosphere.
-It’s placement between the fire and earth planes has other effects on life on Amusa, however, particularly in its active geology. Much of Amusa is covered in one sort of extreme geoglogy such as craggy mountains, dangerous swamps, sink holes, and canyons. The whole continent, in fact, is well known across Quelmar for its labyrinth of interconnected cave and tunnel systems that were a haven for races during the BR era. The southern part of Amusa in particular, however, is known for its active volcanoes and steamy magma fields. Much of the southern half of the continent is blanketed constantly in a dense fog that covers alternately pleasant hot springs, and treacherous lava flows.
+This area is known for its export of harvest squashes, gourds, vegetables, and flowers. The labyrinth of interconnected cave and tunnel systems were a haven for races during the BR era, and the active geology creates a sense of ever-changing danger and mystery. It's no wonder that Amusa has gained its unfortunate nickname, the Land of the Lost. Those brave enough to choose this continent as their permanent home are attuned to the ever-changing land and its secrets.
-It’s rumored that this fog spreads across the island dotted, partially boiling sea to the south and creeps into the astral plane at the edge of the material Quelmar. The continent’s nickname, Land of the Lost, also stems from this area as some believe that lost souls may wander through the fog from the astral plane, and onto Amusa this way. Additionally, the disorienting mist combined with the wild terrain often results in mysteriously missing ships, expeditions and the like should they choose to pass through this area. Few choose to make their permanent residences in this area, but those who do tend to be attuned to the ever changing nature of the land they reside on.
-Mild winds traveling from the elemental plane of air disperse much of the fog from the north west part of Amusa making it much more habitable and pleasantly autumnal. Much of these regions are known for their export of harvest squashes, gourds, vegetables, flowers, and the like as the land is mostly covered in homesteads, small farming towns, fishing villages on the coasts and bay, and a handful of small cities built up around tourist destinations.
