Izdefúche

Izdefúche is the northern-most of the three Mær-D’enian islands.  The shores are covered in fine black sand and lush vegetation unseen anywhere else in teh Five Kingdoms.  But the serene beauty belies a dangerous secret:  it is a massive volcano that houses the temple of the Dragon Elder of Fire.  Due to the constant volatile activity of the island, the waters surrounding the ebon beaches are warm and provide enough humidity to create an almost tropical environment.  The only creatures on the island besides the Dragon Elder are the fire elementals, large cat-like beasts covered head to tail in flames.
