Sometimes bad guys kick rats in just to hear 'em squeal. That just makes more bad juju for certain.
The Ring o' Fire far to the southern provinces of the arid and inhospitable Kauld region stands as a monument to the fury of the Auldensphere, where many of the darker gods draw their anger and rage from raw Aulden energies.
The Ring o' Fire is actually a series of smaller volcanoes forming into a circle, each with its own corrupted heatflue leading deeper into the Auld's surface.
Travel is strictly forbidden with permission, but no one knows currently who to get permission from. Most mortalfolks just get that it is better to avoid the region without very good reason. The area is known for having some of the worst juju on the Auld.
