The East has been well known to be fairly chaotic. There is always a volcano or an earthquake around. The heat there is intensified by the high content of hydrogen in the air. It is split into two regions, a desert and a volcanic reqion. The Volcanic half is what the area calls safe and settled, even though they have to rebuild fairly often. There are a few rivers through the volcanic area, just enough to distribute water to their cities, not to be played in. The desert however is much harder to build on. Also when one travels the desert they find there is a lack of water at all. So it remains vastly unexplored. Yet since the war of the clans, some of the safe zone has become unlivable. When the earth clan cast spells making the ground change every day in the area. Yet some of the animals seem to have adapted there.
