The World of Avlis

The volcanic activity generated by it will tend to spread the land around it a bit producing big delta's like M'Check. Also if you assume a west to east weather pattern like on Earth, you'll get a drier west coast and a wetter east coast as the air is lifted by the mountain range and cooled. Hence you have jungles and swamps on the east coast near Jechran.

The planet that Avlis sits on is Earth sized. Tyedu sits at about 20 degrees north lattitude at its very tip, which puts M'Chek at about 50 degrees roughly. The weather patterns in M"Chek should make sense as is, and if you estimate a current of warm water coming up from the south off the coast of Drotid, you'll be able to explain the warmer wet jungle areas in that place without much of a problem.
