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.
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.
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.
