Fireland

There was a place called Fireland, it was next to another area called Ireland. Fireland was a beautiful place inhabited mainly by birds and sharks. Visitors who went never returned, although no one knew why. One day, a group of kids found their way onto this strange land. When they came back, their clothes were burning and charred to pieces. Due to that incident, it started to be called Fireland.  Then another day, the Ireland was also covered in fire, and then they were both called Fireland. For many years, the existence of these lands were mostly unknown, until a small fishing boat got caught in a storm and got stuck on the island. The crew stayed marooned on the island, and got lost, but a boat holding a record floated back to other places. Many more people finally learned of this place‘s existence.

Then shortly after, the entire world itself was shook by a giant volcanic eruption, and thus everywhere was now a land filled of fire.
