Situated on the bay at the southwest corner of the Big Island and surrounded by dense tropical forest, the black half volcano thrusts four fingers and a thumb into the tropical sky. The mountain must have been formed by an eruption that knocked the bay half of its caldera into the sea, letting lava flow in a gradual drop-off, which the pounding of the current has worn away into a plateau. For all its tiny size, Ista has a mindboggling, mazelike warren of narrow tunnels that double back and run into one another. Since part of the volcano wall is missing, Ista has added forest facing weyrs on the outer walls of the volcano.

The beach under Ista Weyr is sand that, when inspected, proves to be black diamond dust. It is a popular spot to visit for residents and visitors alike.

Ista Boundaries are Tropical in nature with a Monsoon climate; this means that they are driest during the winter months, and drenched in rainfall during the summer season. There is no snowfall in the Istan boundaries, even in the middle of their coldest winters. Instead, their average temperature is 35C/95F in the summer and 17C/62F in the winter.

Being coastal and tropical, Ista is prone to cyclones, notably between the months of 04 and 10, if they happen. Most of their cyclones are on the lower scale, but a major one occurred in recent history – 722 AL – when Ista Hold was about 70% destroyed and had to be rebuilt.

Ista Hold is in a tropical region that never goes below 55F/13C during the day, though it is typically very hot. Because of the heat, many sleep on hammocks and dress in thin to little clothing at all. Its major exports are fish, gems and gem dust, herbs, and their most popular export of citrus fruits as it can't grow in most northern regions. Healers will also often travel to the region to harvest needlethorn.

The largest draw to Ista comes at Turnover where they host a large outdoors Gather thanks to their still hot climate. Guests and Harpers come from all regions for what is a celebration that lasts for several days straight through the nights.
