Mount Kalel

The two volcanoes of the Sathubai, Mount Kalel and Mount Tepank, are separated by 40 miles of rocks and ash from ancient eruptions. At first glance, the heavily eroded, ashen flanks of Mount Kalel epitomize the time-battered walls of a long-dead volcano - cold and quiet. To those who have studied the geology of the surrounding landscape, however, it speaks only of repressed fury. Preserved by the desert climate, the range of the explosively ejected volcanic rock and frozen lava flows points to the last eruption having been cataclysmic in scope, and whatever natural or unnatural phenomenon has kept Kalel in a quiescent state for the last 3 millennia has been a welcome miracle. Over the past 3 years, however, the ancient peak has been the subject of increased attention.
During the past decade, illegal excavations along the southern flank of Mount Kalel uncovered a number of ancient structures built into the mountain, including a temple and what appeared to be several large, sealed doors leading into the mountain's interior. With government interest piqued by what the adventurers had found, excavations sponsored by the Caliph continued and have only increased. From what few details of the original excavation leaked out, the buried structures may originate from the Basaami Empire.
