Thus

A scar in the world left from the annihilation of the original World Tree created by the Dark Mage to restore the plane, it is now an island of storms and Ocanthian ice. Thus is a bleak and desolate place lacking prominent landmarks, with the exception of the Rell’Ovan Tower. Shards of black ice get moved around by storms cutting through most known materials; it takes a lot to survive and be able to scavenge out in the fields and survive the magma pools. Thus harvesters do make good money but at a significant risk. Even with the risks of Thus, people still try to make trips out to the tower for a chance to potentially confirm the rumors that occasionally the gods come down and hang out in the Rell’Ovan Tower.
