Throughout the continent the same script was playing out over and over again.
Deep in the heart of the forgotten Drutsia Tundra, northwest of Quanoth, a lava lake about 100 meters wide and 30 meters deep was spewing out suffocating sulfur fumes. The blizzard raging over the area was unable to freeze this anomaly.
Suddenly, the magma in the lake began to swell, bulging as if some abysmal monstrosity were trying to escape. An explosion resounded, followed by a geyser of lava as high as a skyscraper. As the lava poured back down, the cooled fragments were blown away by the icy winds, revealing a dark and imposing figure in the center of the former lake.
