Structure
The Crucible Depths
An abandoned forge-mine deep beneath the Shattered Furnace, where lava still runs through the old channels.
Version: In development (after 0.1.0-pre-alpha)
The Crucible Depths open through a volcanic rift or an old mine entrance. Inside, narrow tunnels run between channels of lava, forge halls stretch over several levels and natural caverns with fire geysers break up the worked stone. At the very bottom lies the Molten Heart, the arena of its guardian.
It is smaller than the Hollow Sanctum and built around puzzles rather than waves of enemies: regulators redirect the lava, furnaces must be lit in the right order, and a loose brick can hide a passage. None of it needs building to solve. Ifrits, Corrupted Souls and the fiery Molten Guards defend the halls.
Layout
- Volcanic descent, mining tunnels between lava channels, forge halls, a regulator room and the Molten Heart arena.
Inhabitants
- Ifrits, Corrupted Souls, Molten Guards and the rare Ashburst.
