One of the only places? There's 9 regions that get fire weather. They provide 22 zones that get fire weather, 2/3 have mobs high enough to drop flame geodes:

Zulkhelm (2, 1 too low)
Kuzots (3, 1 too low)
Volbow (4)
Aragoneu(1, but too low)
Derfland (2, 1 too low)
Elshimo (5, 2 too low)
Halvung (2)

Aragoneu Front (1)
Derfland Front (2)

22 zones, 16 zones across 8 regions that have mobs high enough to get geodes off of.
