Zut'yrecza Ashland

Geography

. Following the explosion and complete collapse of The Zut'yrecza Volcano, the remains of the entire landscape was turned into an Ashland. The ground contains mostly of extremely high temperature ashes of trees and large rocks that were colder in temperature and conditioned by the sudden change when exposed to the magma. There are several lava pools and gas-releasing sites present in the area that could easily burn anything down to the bone in an instant. The eruption of Zut'yrecza was caused due to excessive gaseous buildup under the high density magma, which released very suddenly and caused an explosion. All life in the vicinity was instantly eradicated and completely turned into ashes. Trees, animals, rocks, etc. became part of the vast ashland expanding over thousands of acres of land. This eruption caused a very huge cloud of ash, that still persists in the air after centuries. Initially, this cloud was very hot and quick to spread, erasing all forms of life beyond the spread of molten rocks and causing several forest wildfires and damage to cities hundreds of kilometers away from the volcano. It also blocked the sun for months on end, affecting the surviving plant life in the area or completely killing them. The eruption of the volcano caused a plateau like landform at the middle of the ashland which formerly was the mountain that kept the magma collected. Any forms of life that survived lie on this plateau. The plateau was formed following the eruption, causing formation of magma rocks that came in contact with water and were instantly cooled. The lava from the volcano was still a lot higher in amount and denser yet the magma rocks survived and show extreme resistance to the lava and heat while remaining relatively low temperature than their surroundings. The trees and rocks that survived the lava also contribute to this landform atop the ashes and lava. This process took centuries after the formation of the ashland. The ashland still retains its high temperature due to the constant formation of magma under the land of the remains of Zut'yrecza Volcano, causing a very volatile and dangerous stream of lava. This stream occupies a major portion of the plateau and at times when gas accumulation increases, can also spread to other areas of the same. Hence the area remains extremely risky for lifeforms. Such events also cause earthquakes of a very large scale, disturbing the integrity of the ashland and furthermore damaging the edges of the area. After several acres of land in the inhabitable zone, the heat and water bodies present formed a wall of magma rocks that stopped the spread of ashlands further more. This prevention is only temporary due to the rising levels of lava in the ashlands, meaning that soon the lava will overcome the walls and start spreading more across waterbodies until the core of the mountain runs out of molten rock under the ground. This will take several more centuries to happen but proceeds at a steady rate.
