Fernia

Fernia, the Sea of Fire is a continually burning landscape. Plates of compressed ash and debris float atop oceans of liquid flame as mountains ooze with molten lava. [1]

Description

The plane of Fernia is composed almost entirely of liquid flame. Fire constantly rages, without the need for air, and what little air exists ripples with the heat of continual firestorms. [1] A large landmass of ash is said to sit at the center of Fernia. On it is the mythical City of Brass , which the efreeti call home. [2]

Coterminous

When coterminous, Fernia generates intense heat on Eberron, especially surrounding volcanoes. Air temperatures can reach as high as 140 °F, causing pain when breathed in. Existing lava or magma pools become hotter. In areas of high heat (like volcanoes or lava pools), inhabitants of Fernia can cross over into Eberron. In these areas, fire spells become more powerful. [1]

Fernia becomes coterminous for one month (the midsummer month of Lharvion ) every five years. [1]

Remote

When remote, heat becomes somewhat less intense. Outside of areas of extreme heat, casting fire spells becomes more difficult. [1]

Fernia becomes remote for one month (the midwinter month of Zarantyr ) every five years. [1]

History

Years ago, when Fernia was coterminous, an efreeti named Ayim led a group of ember guards across the planes to Eberron. They tried to carve out a new kingdom in northern Xen'drik, but were defeated by the drow . [12]

One time when the plane of Fernia was coterminous, it caused the temperatures in Sharn to reach up to 105 °F. [13]
