Once a twin-peaked mountain, its violent eruption shattered its structure and transformed it into a serrated, broken mass of stone and flame, often described as a gateway to something far worse, with rivers of elemental fire carving through its interior and radiating outward beneath the surrounding land. The region around Hotenow is warped and dangerous, attracting creatures attuned to flame such as fire giants, red dragons, and elemental beings, while its depths hold rare minerals and volatile energies that tempt those willing to risk the journey.
