New page

The Nocthian Caldera dominates the landscape of the western quarter of the [[Noefra]]n continent. The remnants of an ancient, extinct super-volcano, the caldera floor is approximately 500 miles in diameter, with an average altitude of 5000-7000 feet. Strong elemental influences keep the climate inside the caldera habitable, although it is known for heavy snow during the winter.
