Etymology
Vittaschtafaronhal is a modern Lindjerblau placename and comes from the Ancient Almsaundean word for volcano. The word itself was a product of word compounding. The name, made from words vit, tascht, faron and hal, means '"hill that throws fire."
Eruptions
The only two documented eruptions of the Vittaschtfaronhal happened in 136 BCE and 997 CE though geologists believe the volcano had erupted at least seven times prior to that.
The 136 BCE eruption is written in old tablet to have happened around midday. It cleansed the previously unhabited lands with fresh, farmable soils once the lava had settled. In the ensuing years, witnessing the fluorishing flora and fauna, many peoples moved into the lands to manipulate it for their own purposes. Through the gathering of common farmers in the era after the eruption, the nation of Anderjam was founded in 130 BCE.
The 997 CE eruption is documented to have happened in the late evening. As the largest eruption in its history, it devastated Anderjam, now a city-state of Vereva, whose populus consisted mostly of argricultural workers in the low, neighboring, Beivucje Valley.
