Fountains of Creation

The largest chain of volcanoes on the Plane of Fire are known as the Fountains of Creation, which is the realm’s closest point to the Plane of Earth. The azer are known to dwell here, working titanic forges in the hearts of the most violent volcanoes to create wondrous items sought after across the multiverse. Many red dragons were known to make their lairs among these volcanoes as well.
Ash is another problem, and in some areas great billowing clouds – some as large as a city - spread across the burnt landscape. Choking is a real danger for anyone caught in one of these ash clouds, and the sky is filled with slowly moving black masses of them. They can obscure light just like a regular cloud and can reduce visibility from hazy to nearly black.

Description

The greatest range of volcanoes and mountains on the Plane of Fire are the Fountains of Creation. These tall, craggy peaks are marked by constant eruptions and lava flows, with lakes of molten rock cooling and reheating constantly. Red dragons and fire giants dwell here in caves and labyrinths, but the greatest achievements belong to the azers. These fire-bearded dwarves are as industrious as their Material Plane-dwelling cousins, and work constantly at massive forges and bellows to produce the most exquisite works of art, architecture, weapons, and Magic. Traveling in the Fountains of Creation is deadly for anyone, however. Traversing the region by foot requires navigating the paths that wind around volatile volcanoes capable of spewing magma with a moment’s notice and avoiding the beasts and monsters that call the peaks their home. Flying is little better, as the lava geysers from the volcanoes can reach hundreds of feet into the soot-filled sky. Many a traveler on a winged beast or airship has been lost to a sudden blast of magma from what appeared to be a quiet volcano.
On the edge of the Fountains of Creation, the Plane of Fire is said to give way to the Plane of Magma, one of the paraelemental planes that border the Plane of Earth on the other side. Great azer outposts dot this region as many clans claim as much earth heritage as fire.

Features

Falling debris (Conjure barrage). When walking along the wavy path within the mountains, some rare debris may fall on the unaware traveler.
Toxis gas (cloudkill or stinking cloud). The gas trapped within the lava can sometimes be released in a sudden burst, when it doesn't self ignite, adventurers should quickly dodge away as those gas are most likely dangerous if they're not flammable.
Toxic Eruption (acid splash). The sulfur and other gas released by the volcano can sometimes form a thick liquid of dark color with acidic properties, this liquid trapped under the rocks or under the magma can be unfortunately released by visitors stepping on the wrong path, welcoming them with a burst of acid.
