The Kingdom of Happyshine (Part 2)

Hello readers!  Intern Super Wizard Tornado Lighting here!  I'm filling in for Lazer Gaiden today, as he's still missing and quite possibly dead*!
*The Super Wizard in me, of course, wishes Lazer Gaiden a speedy and safe return.  The opportunist in me, however, would be more than happy to finally receive a promotion.

The Council has requested that I step in for today to continue the series I started on the Kingdom of Happyshine.  Unsupervised!

The Mountains of You Will Absolutely Die if you Come Here:  I'll be honest with you, nobody really knows why this place is so dangerous, since it's pretty appropriately named*.  My guess?  Spiders.
*RIP Elder John.  Your obnoxious stubbornness to ignore obvious warnings is an example to us all.  We will not forget.

Dim Underchilly:  Whether Dim Underchilly is part of Happyshine or the Dark Undercold is a matter of some dispute, as it rests more or less on the border between both.  The Deathlords are assholes though, so I'm just gonna say it's ours.  Officials from both kingdoms have supposedly never actually spoken in person.  The stories go that they communicate through a series of passive-aggressive notes along the border.  I haven't been there myself to see, but it seems about right.

The Crater of Inevitability:  As the name suggests, it's a big crater.  Huge, in fact.  And nothing grows or lives there.  Rumor has it that, in spite of the huge amount of space, even Crimson Bovine Inc. passed up building anything in the crater.  Legends say that there used to be a town or city of some sort where the crater is now, but it was wiped out by something.  It could have possibly been a dragon angel.  There's not really any records of the city to check when it could have been destroyed, but when dragon angels attack, people tend to be more focused on running and screaming and wetting themselves than record taking.

The Fields of Cerulean Murder: Okay so, in spite of the name, this is actually a pretty nice picnic spot.  The name likely comes from a mistranslation of the original name*.  There's lots of flowers here at all times of year, and a pleasing lack of lethal wildlife.  Except in the winter.  Don't go there in the winter.
*The original name is probably closer to The Fields of Crimson Murder, obviously.

The Lagoon that Time Forgot: For the more adventurous types, the Lagoon that Time Forgot is actually a pretty nice vacation spot.  There's nice beaches and clear blue skies, and a whole host of (presumably) residents locked in time with expressions of inexplicable terror on their faces.  And no sharks!

The Boring Forest: This is an uninteresting forest with nothing at all unusual about it.  Popular with non-Super Wizards for not being even slightly dangerous at any time of year except for the occasional bear.  They're not even weaponized though!  Normal people are weird.
