This volcanic isle smokes and smolders constantly.
Although it rarely erupts in lava flows, the volcano
produces enormous amounts of ash, which coat its cinder
cone several feet deep. The island usually lies beneath
a pall of airborne ash, and this may cover surrounding
regions downwind in Moderate or greater wind conditions.
The column of hot ash and smoke rising from the cone
is visible 40-50 miles away, if the wind permits. Ashfall
can occur as far as Draj. There is no water and no life
on the Isle of Ash.
On rare occasions, the volcano produces a superheated
mass of volcanic gases, ash, and dust. This creates a lethal
mixture that blankets the island. This kind of eruption is
preceded by many warning signs for days beforehand, so
an alert and fast-moving party can escape the area.
