The only other place you can think of that was this hot is the Drigus Desert, where an unadapted or unadventurous wanderer could easily suffer a violent heat stroke. The hot air hits you like a wave as you enter the cavern, lined with torchs and waving as heat rises upward of the sandy floor. The cavern in not as enormous as some, but it is large. Small, desert trees are planted in the soft top sand and ropy vines hang between them, making the entire cavern seen a garlanded wasteland. In the very center, in the sparse shade of a copse of viny trees, sits a shining egg the same color as the hot sand it sits on, nearly blending in. Soft rustles of sand can be heard as the grains move in the hot breeze. Sweating, you look up to the top of the cavern, where you see a large, carved vent through which the heat is passing, escaping the cavern through a tunnel to the open air above the mountain. You have no idea what is heating the cavern, but you know it does a good job. You are practically driping with sweat and begin to have a hard time focusing on the egg many meters away. It is just a large blob in your vision now as salty sweat stings your eyeballs. Your brain shreiks at you to stop, but your curiosity shreiks for further investigation.
