The Hethoria Volcano

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Hethoria Volcano is a huge dormant underwater volcano approximately 15 x 18 km in size located on Lyria, After the underwater volcano became dormant the top of the volcano was filled by sand and rocks, and in millions years, the once dangerous volcano became the center of a diverse and thriving ecosystem. The area is like a guyot, a type of underwater volcanic formation that was once above the surface and now eroded into a island below the sea level. The area around the volcano is known as the abyss, as its only inhabited by planktons and an unknown leviathan class species. In the volcano there are multiple ecological biomes, each having different fauna and flora, from green kelp forests to grassy plains underwater. Some of the fauna seems to be infected by a fungal parasite, taking control of all of the fauna here. The water here is very dangerous and infected with an alien parasitic fungi and swimming there without a protective suit is going to kill you.
