The Steel Bridge of Cremation

The Naga have built a mighty steel bridge at the Devil’s Mouth for their own passage. The fire from the volcano has of course some effect on the steel bridge and it glows red with heat. Surprisingly this doesn’t pose a great problem to the Naga since, compared to the bottom of the Devil’s Mouth, this is a temperature they are able to withstand. However, the sheer heat of the bridge poses an insurmountable barrier to the magical Naga capital for relatively weak human troops. Therefore, scouts call the bridge the ‘Steel Bridge of Cremation’.

Valley of Burning Rocks

The Valley of Burning Rocks is located at the end of the Devil’s Mouth. It is the only exit to the huge fissure (Assuming one has already got through the bottom of the Devil’s Mouth). Naga troops have gathered their key metallurgical facilities here. The Naga have used the power of magic to enslave the Flame Demon as the source of heat for their furnace. This is the reason why they are unendingly able to make vast quantities of weapons.

The Valley of Burning Rocks is an important fort connecting the magical Naga capital and the Devil’s Mouth. However, as the Naga believe no one can exit the Devil’s Mouth alive, it is in fact a weaker link along the supply line compared to other locations. It is said that a team of scouts from the Order of Dark Glory once came here using some special means. Unfortunately they were not able to get out alive, so the knowledge of how they were first able to get through the Devil’s Mouth never reached their headquarters.

Boiling Blood Outpost

The outpost is the largest and is the major outpost encountered before entering the magical capital. It is built on several lava pools at the foot of Aotulia Volcano. For humans, it is a true nightmare task to get close to these burning lava pools, let alone to be able to cross them. To walk between the outposts is to feel one’s blood boiling and that is how the outpost came to be named.

Scarlet Snake, stationed in the Boiling Blood Outpost, is one of the most trusted followers of the Naga’s Supreme General. Scarlet Snake is a purebred Naga and a master of fire spells. Countless scouts entering the outpost on their exploratory missions have been burnt to charcoal by him. He has placed all of these cremated bodies outside his outpost as a warning to all human scouts: it is virtually impossible to enter the magical capital of the Naga.

Lair of the Demon Dragon

Southwest of the Aotulia Volcano, the Naga employ their elite troops as guards. Surprisingly, the number of guards here is almost equal in number to those who guard the gate to the magical capital. It has always puzzled the scouting teams. Why would the Naga allocate such a large battalion to this place? Are they guarding against enemies, or are they protecting something? There are strange noises which can be heard occasionally, but in truth little is known about the activities within this mysterious mountain. It would seem that only new, bold adventurers will be able to assist in revealing more about these mysterious secrets.
