Region Overview

Illumination from the Cauldrons can be seen for many miles out to sea. For centuries ships have given this section of the Zūlàrah Coast a wide berth for fear of striking the extensive underwater rock formations that flow from the shore. From time to time new cauldrons erupt on land and underwater, adding to the eerie orange glow.

Cities, Towns, and Villages

Very few people live around the Cauldrons. The heat and gases make the place inhospitable to most people. Scattered Ogdar Phlōg communities exist throughout the area. Within the last few years, a few Hôrk settlements have also appeared. It is unclear where the Hôrki settlers came from or what their interest is along the volatile coastline. They seem unfazed by the high temperatures and toxic gases that the cauldrons regularly belch forth.

Landmarks

• The Lurdùrun. A large but intermittent geyser that erupts about thrice a day. Sailing vessels that pass the Cauldrons often drop anchor well off-shore in order to witness this natural spectacle before continuing. The spout commonly spews super-heated water between 100 and 200 feet into the air. The geyser is named for the Dekàli star-sign representing a message from the gods.
