The Cauldron

The Cauldron is a large basin dug by Narzhak to assist Shengshi's experiments with alcohol distillation. It is located on the Continent Kirron, south of the Giant's Bath, and connected to the latter by a channel. Its formation was accompanied by a quake and the destruction of a sizeable amount of surrounding grassland.
A vast, roughly circular pit in the ground, the Cauldron is filled with water funnelled from the Giant's Bath and heated by a web of small magma vents that surround it to all sides. Its interior is entirely plated with iron, and a quantity of the metal at its bottom remains in a perpetually molten state. Following Shenshi's work with alcoholic yeast within the basin, its waters retain a perceptible concentration of spirits, and inhaling the vapours that rise from it will result in intoxication.
