Obsidian Plains

Related topics: Obsidian Rim

The Obsidian Plains are an area in the southwest Direlands. They are a perfectly round, raised plateau of obsidian, scarred with deep cracks and speckled with columns of obsidian, strange blue crystals, and giant mushrooms. Surrounding the Obisidian plains, one will find the Black Hills, a ring of tall, narrow, blackened plateaus, most of which are inaccessible.
