Magic, Science, and all-the-ways-they-mix Research Team!
There are a lot of forgotten relics, forsaken lands, and forbidden arts lost to the waves and time. The Raiders of the Lost Arts are dedicated to finding, researching, and potentially utilizing whatever they can find. Legal methods of acquiring information and research materials may or may not be followed. The crew is also incredibly inclined towards Moon-themes and most of them are bibliophiles.

Notable Items
Ancient Tome of Forbidden Knowledge "A tome depicting ancient, forbidden arts from a long-lost arcane practitioner. The book is so ancient it's actually difficult to read or make out anything, and it also seems to have a habit of trying to bite the reader."; picked up on the off chance it has something in there that matches the handwriting from the Tombstone Rem is investigating and starting the magic research library off the correct way: with forbidden knowledge and violence (biting) - Donated by Dongfang Qingcang
I vote yes to Floating Pieces. Maybe someday they could become something for people, if they wanted.
For ruins, I propose something like this carved into the mountain, with obvious signs of damage from the volcano having gone off. There could be structures deeper within the mountain where the magitech and books stayed safe.
I do like the idea of tropical, so many vibrant flowers to find. Plus, the denser forests will be harder for people to invade them, especially if they have a hidden grotto/lagoon where they come in to avoid all this on the regular basis after exploring it the first time.
Snakes. Tropics or woods, snakes are there. Similar enough to dragons. :3 Perhaps the ancient civilization used to worship the snakes. But these are lava snakes who stay close to the source of heat (aka the volcano) until they hunt. You won't see them much at all during the colder months as they hibernate underground, but as the temperature warms, more are abundant (rip for summer exploration).
I prefer Beachy and Forest, but there could always be a marshy section and of course, The Mountain where the palace residence will be built. And a few other mountains here and there.
Bonus for the future palace residence. Flower decorated hallways: one and two. Entrance to the outer garden: here. Garden gazebo: with waterfall that ends at the bottom of the mountain.
