Mount Shibotai

Mount Shibotai is a volcano in the Minatan region of Tian Xia. It erupted in -24 IC, covering the continent in ash, darkening the skies for months, and forming a ring of islands at the northern end of the Minatan archipelago. Inhabitants feared it might herald a repeat of the catastrophes that caused the Age of Ashes almost 3,000 years before, though these fears eventually proved unfounded.

Mount Shibotai was formed when the deity Hei Feng struck down the underworld dragon Ihoblyqaerth to halt the dragon's rampage against sea dragons that had also devastated Minata.
