The Taranian Market, or TM, is located here. At the Merket, you may purchase items for your dragon. Items may vary from small collectibles to extremely rare items that may only be offered at certain times. Items available in the Taranian Market may be traded for Gems.

All tracking posts will be placed here. This is a requirement here on Taranis. Please go to the Ancient Scrolls and read 9. "Before making your first post" under the In Character section to make sure you have everything needed.

Upon taking flight into the lands of the Pyr, a glorious sight will meet you; a great spread of nothing but water. The Nereides is crystal clear, and the waters are warm. The surface is usually calm, giving you a clear view of the sands below the blue waters. The beaches are white and gleam like ivory, cool at night and warm to the touch during the day. Perfect for sun-bathing and relaxing when the war is at a temporary pause, if only for a minute.

Past the gleaming white beaches of the Nereides lies the Kavalas; seemingly endless miles of rolling plains where the ocean breeze is warm and the grasses are green almost all year round. There is not a tree in sight however, which may leave the midsummer afternoons as hot as a desert. If it weren't for the salty breeze, that is.

As you cross the plains of the Kavalas, you will run into the towering forests of Farsalon. The trees there are forever green, taller than they eye can see, and much of them conveniently spaced far enough apart for a dragon. The ground beneath the canopies is damp and some areas are rocky and slick with morning dew and moss. Don't move too quickly though, for the trees may close up without a warning.

As the forest of Farsalon begins to disperse you will come face to face with the sky high Crete Mountains. Much of the surface is made of massive gray boulders; some melded together, while others may come loose if enough force is inflicted. The higher you climb, the less greenery you will find. It often snows during the cold seasons, leaving the mountain sides slick when the seasons begin to warm.

The Vrachodis Mountains stard out clearly against the skies of the Ouranos. They are stained a deep crimson red, the color of blood and the result of many battles long past. It is often snowy due to the Leviathan realm having higher altitude than the rest of the lands. The highest points of the Vrachodis is always shrouded in clouds.

Deep within the towering peaks of the Vrachodis Mountains is the Gehenna, the Lake of Fire. It sits like a looming black mass, seeming to spiral down endlessly. It's over a thousand feet wide, and no one knows how deep. No matter how cold it gets in the Vrachodis, the water always remains warm and never freezes over. It gets it's name from the shades of red and gold it turns as the setting sun strikes it through the gaps in the mountains.

Even deeper within the Vrachodis Mountains, within the dark fiery depths of the Gehenna, is the Sheol. If you swim deep enough and look hard enough, you might just find the well-hidden entrance. If you can hold your breath for long enough, that is. Once you find the entrance, you are faced with a mile long tunnel that is only wide enough for a single large dragon. If you make it that far, you will surface in the middle of a blood red lake, much smaller than that of the Gehenna. The grotto is vast, and the light filtering in from a small hole miles above your head shows smooth walls with the color of the water. The only flaw in the surfaces is a dozen wide ledges, each large enough to hold multiple dragons. Legend has it that the Sheol used to be a safe haven for dragons; a silver-veined cave that was save from harm.

Beyond the vast expanse of the Vrachodis Mountains list an even wider span of desert. The Mykonos is dry and hot most of the year. The sands are scorching to the touch and roll with the caress of a sweltering wind. They are a deep shade of orange to the point where they are almost crimson. There is no water here, except for the slight change of rain during the winter season.

Toward the North of the Void, you will see the Athos Mountains. These mountains are far taller than the Crete, Vrachodis, and Delos mountains. The spires are jagged and sharp, making it difficult to land in most places. There are some smooth areas here at there however. They are massive ledges that were said to have been carved out by the elder Wyrms who have long past.

This is the largest peak of the Athos Mountains. It towers at least a mile over the rest of Taranis, and is quite the wonder to behold. The base of the Zephyrus begins to thin, when one would normally think that the mountains would end. But instead, the gray rock shifts to gold and the mountain begins to thicken again. The top of Zephyrus is a large, flat surface about 100 feet across. It shimmers in the sun like a smooth, flat coin. The high winds at the top of Zephyrus may make it hard to stay anchored upon the small surface.

The Delos mountains sit on the Southern part of the Void. They are the smallest of the mountains, only about half the size of the Crete, Vrachodis, and Athos. The slopes are smooth, and covered in dirt and grasses in some areas. The summits of each peak are rounded and not pointed like the rest of the mountains in Taranis.

Between the Athos Mountains and Delos Mountains sits the Evia; a circular island about ten miles in diameter. Most of the island is covered in various grasses, ranging in shades from golden yellow to emerald green. The blades along with the tall palm trees sway gracefully in the ocean breezes. Some of the trees grow bananas, while others grow coconuts. The sands are a white gold color. They glisten like diamonds on the Pyr shores, and they bleed like rubies on the Leviathan coast.

Beneath the Athos Mountains, the island of Evia, and the Delos Mountains lies the sprawling veins of the Spilaio. There are seemingly endless miles of tunnels and caves beneath the oceans, mountains, and other areas. Some tunnels are thin enough for only the smallest dragons, while others are large enough for multiple dragons. The same goes for the caves. The only problem with being this far below the surface is the face that there is little to no light.

Past the Delos Mountains, on the southernmost part of the Void, is the Erimos. A vast desert where the clouds and rains never reach. The weather is dry and hot almost all year, and there are frequent high winds. The crusts are hard, dried, and cracked from the harsh summer days that never seem to end.

Oh look, it's an OOC chat! Yeah, duh, we know we have the cbox over there, but there might as well be a board for posts too! Not everyone wants to get caught up in the moody cbox. It can be annoying sometimes. So if you want to introduce, say something that randomly pops into your head, or whatever, post here until your little beating heart is content! Ideas, questions, comments, concerns, etc., can be posted here as well!
