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.

Regions

The lands of Amusa are vast and varied. Its positioning between the elemental planes have made it home to multiple distinct regions that many call their homes.

The Dolina Peninsula

The Dolina Peninsula is a large stretch of swamps and wetlands in the far western portion of Amusa. Winds blow in from the north, dispersing the dangerous fog from the south and giving the peninsula a mild and temperate climate.

Western Amusa

Western Amusa consists of large stretches of green and fertile fields. The continents eternal autumn has allowed the region to develop into an agricultural powerhouse in the realm, making Western Amusa the perfect home for farming many types of produce in large quantities. Western Amusa is best known for its exquisite exports of gourds and squashes. Due to the region being one of the safer ones on the continent, it is easily the most populated. Large port cities have formed along its coasts and the inlands are dotted with numerous farming communities.

The pleasent atmosphere and the quant nature of Western Amusa has made it a popular tourist destination. As such many citizens have transitioned from farming to catering to tourists, populating Western Amusa with numerous inns, taverns, show-houses, live performances, and many other such tourist traps.

The largest threat in Western Amusa are raiding Gnoll tribes who live along the border between Western Amusa and Abzcar Canyon, leaving their domain now and again to pillage farming communities for food and supplies

Luggland Hills

Luggland Hills is situated in the north east corner of Amusa, bordering the sea and the Gulfithorp Isles. The land consists of rolling savannah hills and is crossed with many open and dry roads. Over the centuries this region has been hotly contested by competing powers, populating this land with ruins and the remnants of civilizations long past.

The Geyser Greenwood

The south east portion of Amusa is chocked by the dense rainforests of the Geyser Greenwood. Amongst the thick foliage, natural geysers spew forth boiling steam. Combined with the fog that rolls in from the south, much of the region is obscured in mist. The treacherous terrain and unfriendly conditions make the land difficult and dangerous to navigate, but for those who are successful in doing so, the Geyser Greenwood opens up their secrets of the ages.
