Estreoth/Tarnus

Tarnus is the southern region of the Barafet. It is the deadliest region in Estreoth.

Overview
The Tarnus is an intense, raging hell storm that occupies the southernmost tip of the Barafet Desert. The region is nearly uninhabitable, with the exception of the Death Bringer's Base which is protected from the native wild life by powerful energy shields. The Tarnus is second only to the sealed realm of Infernus in terms of harshness. Only the Gunryo and the Death Bringer's Legion has the ability to traverse the land by foot.

Geography
The Tarnus is a large, triangular valley with high, rugged mountains bordering two of the three sides. The remaining side is connected to the rest of the Barafet. Located at the southern end of the region is Mount Selus, the volcano which is the origin of the black clouds that cover the region's sky.

Climate
The Tarnus is trapped within a perpetual storm. The sky is always blacked out with black clouds (generated by Mount Selus) and large sand tornadoes typically rip across the land. Wind speeds rarely, if ever, fall under fifty miles an hour; although it is not unheard of for some small areas to be shielded from the intense wind. Because the clouds act as an insulator, the Tarnus has temperatures up to 130 degrees, possibly up to 150.
