Due to its high salt content, it can mummify and quite literally petrify corpses of animals which is perfect for the Plague aesthetic.

Flamingos eat the red pigmented algae, some resistant plants live on the shore, and some fish live in less-saline parts. It is so alkaline it can barely support any sort of life, but some animals and plants do thrive around it. It is a saline lake with a vivid red hue due to algae and microorganisms, hot springs and mummifying abilities. Due to being close to a volcano and volcanic processes, its contents are very toxic. Perfectly chaotic environment for Plague.Īnother incredibly unique geographical location is Lake Natron in Tanzania. Socotra Island has very strange looking plans, some trees barely even look like trees, flowers are thick and succulent, some plants have bulbous and extremely thick stems and trunks. The island is isolated and has been for a very long time, and knowing that the Abiding Boneyard is also isolated and surrounded by highlands of Earth, Wind and Arcane territories, unique organisms could very well inhabit that area.

To make the environment specifically intriguing and unique looking, I highly recommend basing the flora on the Socotra Island in Yemen. This is a great opportunity to make a landscape with large, boney growths which are resistant tree-like or fungus-like plants and bulbous roots spreading through the soil, trying to reach water. In harsh and dry areas, life is very adapted to the conditions which is why plants are hardy, thick and resistant, sometimes even filtering out salt. From salt lakes over flats to canyons, the potential is vast. They feature many unique and beautiful geological formations that could go extremely well with Plague territory. I'm primarily talking about the Atacama Desert, Antelope Canyon and Wadi Rum which are all orange and rusty red environments due to their iron-rich soil. What if we took some inspiration from Earthen environments because Earth is an incredibly unique and diverse place with superb areas, some even fitting for the Plague aesthetic. People have been asking for another Plague venue for a long time, and while Waterway, Mire and Ghostlight Ruins all have Plaguelike elements, a more inhospitable and harsh environment is something many people would love, including me! So that's why I made some suggestions.
