[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3380632, member: 13966"] A few things that come to mind: The quadrants of the broken continent may be such that the land of air is near asia, the land of earth is near greenland, the land of fire is near america, and the land of water is near europe/russia. The land of earth would probably be most fertile and mineral-rich, but kind of dry, while the land of water would be damp and marshy with both freshwater and saltwater areas, also abundant in plantlife but less so than the land of earth and with more fungus. "Greenland" would be fertile because of its proximity to the land of elemental earth, as america's northern stretches would be warm and dry from proximity to the land of fire, and europe would be cool and rainy from its closeness to the land of water, and northeastern asia would be stormy and windy from closeness to the land of air. The land of air would likely be a windswept, dusty set of plains and deserts, divided in spots by deep, thin rifts and canyons that occasionally 'breathe' forth foul winds, from the slumbering Elder God of Frost trapped far below the center of the continent. The land of fire would be a volcanic place with numerous hot springs, sulfuric ponds, and rivers of lava, mostly barren of life except for strange, magical plants, often of a dangerous/carnivorous nature. Actual storms would be few over the land of fire, and would often bear sulfuric, ashen, cinder-laden rains, falling from clouds formed as much from smoke and volcanic dust as from moisture, but lightning would spark across the sky at times even on clear days.
