Hell's Reach

Hell's Reach is the most southernmost point in Aurelia. It is inhabited by small tribes that refer to themselves as the "Bonemen". The Bonemen themselves are not politically unified but consist of numerous and diverse groups. Many are semi-nomadic hunters, due to the impracticality of agriculture in the far south. Some bonemen are little more than savage and primitive raiders, but other groups live in small settled camps and villages.
The Bonemen sometimes refer to these lands as "the true Hell's Reach", because they truly believe Hell's Reach is a dead land. Some bonemen do live in Hell's Reach but that community are a small group of bounty hunters. Other Bonemen believe that the Great Magma Plains will soon be consumed by Hell's Reach and are continuing to travel north to stay safe from whatever lies within the True Hell's Reach.

The lands in Hell's Reach are nearly completely uncharted even by those who live there. The region immediately south of Hadrian's Wall includes Farlot Swamp, a vast and heavily forested area with poison marshes at every corner. The next area includes the Great Magma Plains, a vast lava-field which covers most of the area, extending from the Shadow Bridge to the furthest uncharted south. 
The Farlot Swamp extends from the western coast to a large mountain chain in the west known as the Devil's Horntips or Horntips for short. The Horntips extend an unknown distance to the south and are quite inhospitable. However, there are rumors that even the southern Horntips contain hidden valleys, heated by volcanic activity, which are actually the most hospitable regions this far south in the dead lands.
Southeast of the Horntips, past the Shadow Bridge, there is a narrow strip of land between the mountains and the sea known as Hornhead, a harsh, rocky area inhabited by fierce and primitive warriors who frequently cross the ashy sea to raid the lands and pirate ships that travel near the coast. 
Hell's Reach is a desolate, barren wasteland that stretches for miles in every direction. Located towards the southern section of the Country of Isling, it is surrounded by rocky cliffs and craggy mountain peaks that form a natural barrier, cutting it off from the rest of the world. The environment here is harsh, unforgiving, and completely devoid of any form of life. The landscape of Hell's Reach is dominated by a vast expanse of scorched, cracked earth that seems to go on forever. The ground is parched and dry, and the soil is so devoid of nutrients that even the hardiest of plants would struggle to survive. The only vegetation that exists here are the occasional cacti and other desert plants, which are adapted to survive in the harsh conditions.
The climate of Hell's Reach is equally unforgiving. The sun beats down relentlessly on the scorched earth, baking the land and making it almost unbearable to traverse during the day. At night, the temperature drops dramatically, and the wind howls through the canyons, creating a bone-chilling cold that seeps into your bones. The geology of Hell's Reach is characterized by jagged rocks, steep cliffs, and deep, narrow canyons. The landscape is dotted with volcanic craters, and there are several active volcanoes in the area, which add to the already harsh conditions. The rocky terrain is difficult to traverse, and it is easy to get lost in the maze of canyons and ravines that criss-cross the landscape. Despite the harsh conditions, there is a strange beauty to Hell's Reach. The barren landscape and the stark rock formations create a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The colors of the rocks range from deep reds and oranges to pale yellows and whites, creating a stunning contrast against the bright blue sky.
In conclusion, Hell's Reach is a harsh, unforgiving environment that is completely inhospitable to life. The rocky terrain, extreme temperatures, and lack of water and nutrients make it one of the most hostile environments on the planet. However, the surreal beauty of the landscape and the unique geological formations make it a fascinating and awe-inspiring place to visit.
