Volcanic Wilderness
Karn's Rugged Terrain
A treacherous expanse of jagged rocks and uneven stone scattered across Karn’s volcanic surface, where heat shimmers distort the air and the ground crunches underfoot with a metallic resonance. The rocks form natural labyrinths of hollows and fissures, offering fleeting shadows against the relentless glow of Karn’s twin suns. Wind carves through the crevices with a low, mournful howl, carrying the scent of sulfur and old fire. Here, solid ground becomes a mirage—the Doctor’s Tardis could be meters away, yet remain hidden by the shifting terrain’s illusions.
