Arua

Arua, the land of beasts, is a treacherous island infamous for its myriad beasts and peculiar leader of the same name. Of the lands ruled by the Celestial Four it is the furthest north and as such tends to be the coldest. Next to it is a smaller chain of primarily uninhabited islands that are generally referred to as the Aruan Islands. The odd naming brings about much confusion regarding what is and isn't actually Arua, though a majority of scholars agree that the main island is Arua and the Aruan Islands are only territories.

Natural Features
The island of Arua is mainly covered in one gigantic forest. The forest is said to have a life of its own that is controlled by a singular, unknown entity. For one day every year, the branches of the trees intertwine and form a tight mesh over the sky, completely blocking out all light. This day is called the Darkest Midnight, and during this time citizens of Arua are warned to stay indoors and be on high alert for all of the life on the island suddenly become vicious and bloodthirsty.

There is one mountain on the island that pokes through the overgrowth, Cataclysm's Peak. It sits in the middle of the island like a jagged tooth, looming over the Aruan capital of Shalfei and giving it its characteristic shroud of darkness. Tendrils of mist hang around the center of the mountain, occasionally drifting down to the surface and blinding large chunks of the island at a time.
