The Farens' dwellings are at the southernmost tip of Ilisthmira. They live in stone caves that were hollowed out over the years by applying intense heat to the walls, blackening them to the same color as the sooty ground. Most caves are only meant for one or two Farens, but some of the older ones can hold quite a few wolves at once. The soil here is rocky and black, unable to sustain any form of plant life. The color comes from the soot and ashes that constantly fall from the large volcano, around which all the caves are located. The volcano towers overhead, always either letting out a rush of lava or spouting out ashes. Though the Farens are used to it, outsiders would find the ashy air hard to breathe. Some small animals can be found around here, and the occasional puddle of rainwater, but other than that this place is devoid of any water or living creature besides the wolves.
