The Heart of Fire
Among the craggy mountains of the Northlands one peak stands out from the others by day or night: the Heart of Fire. A lake of molten rock surrounded by strange formations of basalt bubbles and smokes at the summit; occasionally it bursts forth in a powerful eruption that symbolises the unpredictability of Fire. The lower flanks and slopes host shrines to the spirits, each one built as an architectural marvel despite the knowledge that eventually the volcano will consume them.
