Burning Rock is a small volcanic island in the northern Malphigian Sea that lies about six Weyren Strides from the harbor of Evenhold.
The southern and central parts of the island are dominated by an active volcano from which smoke and steam often rise, and the island's beaches are composed mostly of basalt and black sand. The areas north of the mountain are a mix of hardened lava flows and lush forests of eucalyptus sloping gradually down to the northern shores, with a native human village situated on the volcano's northern slopes. The inhabitants live in stone huts and farm the surrounding tillable land, much of which they enclosed with wooden palisades. The people worship the demigod Moridai at a stone temple just above the village.
Large natural gemstones may be found on Burning Rock, which the islanders wear as decorations.
