Escalia

The Continent of Escalia is a vast and largely unexplored land located south of Utefue, on the far side of the Cold Deep. It is a land of extremes, with its geography consisting mostly of deserts and jungles, and its climate ranging from scorching heat to torrential rain. Despite being shrouded in mystery and danger, Escalia has always fascinated adventurers and explorers who have tried to uncover its secrets.
The deserts of Escalia are vast and inhospitable, with sand dunes that stretch for miles and temperatures that can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius. These deserts are home to many dangerous animals, such as scorpions, snakes, and sand spiders, making it a place where only the strongest and most skilled adventurers dare to tread. It is said that the sands of Escalia hide many treasures, from ancient artifacts to precious gems, but few have returned to tell the tale.
The jungles of Escalia are just as deadly as its deserts, with thick undergrowth that conceals all manner of dangers. Poisonous plants and venomous animals are just some of the hazards that await those who venture into the depths of Escalia's forests. The jungle is also home to many tribes of indigenous people who have lived in the area for centuries, and who are fiercely protective of their land and culture.
Escalia has gained a reputation as a haven for plagues and dangerous insects, which has contributed to its lack of exploration. Rumors have circulated that Escalia is home to many invading insects from Aurelia, a neighboring continent that has suffered greatly from insect infestations. Some have speculated that the Aurelian insects were brought to Escalia by trade ships or explorers, and that they have multiplied in the warm and humid climate.
Despite the dangers that Escalia poses, there are still those who are drawn to the continent in search of adventure and discovery. Some have attempted to map the land and its geography, while others have sought to study its flora and fauna. However, much of Escalia remains a mystery, waiting to be explored by those brave enough to face its many dangers.
