Devil's Breath
Devil's Breath is named for the geothermal springs (and associated smell) that surrounds the village. It straddles the line between Underdark and Overland, with most of the residential parts of town underground to avoid the worst of the heat and humidity. The above-ground portion is on the beach and built-in to the cliffs overlooking the lake and farmland growing fruit trees, rice, chicken, and pigs. Dotted along the lakeshore are smaller fishing families.
While technically a surface town, it's remote location means it has little-to-no contact with the Sylvan Empire. Nearby Underdark towns and cities are it's most frequent trading partners, importing vast amounts of local food like tropical fruit, fish, chicken, and pork.
