The Tela Ring

The island chain known as the Tela Ring was once a much larger, single island. Its creation was caused by a hot spot under the ocean floor, a hot spot that contained a huge vault of magma. Over the millennia that magma seeped out, slowly building up the near continent sized island. Unfortunately Tela’s luck would not hold. The magma vault became plugged, unable to release its energy over time. Eventually it could hold no more and exploded, destroying the island and all around it in one of the most violent catastrophes in this region of the sea, if not the entire world.

Now the blasted remains of the once great Tela Island form the Tela Ring. The oceanic crater still teams with volcanic activity, and the seas around the islands actually steam.
