The Obsidian Kingdom was a land defined by its stark, rugged beauty. Unlike the lush, vibrant, green forests of the Emerald Kingdom or the glittering, sun-drenched coastal cities of the Pearl Kingdom, the southern shores of Obsidian were carved directly from dark, volcanic rock and heavy, storm-tossed seas.

For centuries, a lingering, chaotic miasma had blanketed this entire island, a heavy, suffocating residue of ancient dark magic gone completely feral.
