It is one of the greatest volcano ever seemed. Its eruption, which took place about five hundred years ago, wiped out an entire chain of islands and countless ports and settlements. In the wake of the storm of ashes and lava, is a large volcano towering above the pale blue sea. Over years, its crater collected water and became a lake. As the volcano extends high beyond the clouds, the water is numbingly cold.
- Paradise on High? Settlements being to spring up about the foot of the volcano, where verdant fields and forests have grown because of the fertile volcanic ashes. Some has risked the climb to the top of the mountains, and returned with exciting finds – gigantic fishes, crabs and fruits larger than those found on the ground. There begins an eager expedition to the top, but at least one person is more cautious than most. He wishes the adventurers to investigate the crater and see if it is indeed aparadise at the top of the volcano. If there are such good hunting there, who (or what) else may be a predator up there?
- What Dwells in the Deep on High: Settlers on the foot of the volcano and nearby islands have reported sightings of a strange group of creatures. They look serpentine, but humanoid, and are as adept in land and water. Trackers have located webbed footprints leading up to the volcano, and some suspect those new creatures came from the peak. The volcano has cause the ancient tunnels of a serpent-like people to connect to the natural underground caverns in the region, and they have found a way to the peaks of the volcano, where game and food is plentiful. But are they necessary hostile? Can the human settlers and the serpentine race shares the volcano in peace?
- A Metal of Fire and Ice: An alchemist has predicted that due the extraordinary means which the icy cold lake is formed at the peak of the volcano, there would exist a type of metal alloy which would be stronger than steel and far more flexible at the same time. He managed to convince a rich patron to sponsor an expedition and he was proven right. From the metal found within the lake, he managed to produce weapons of excellent quality. Now the crater at the top has became a slave labor forge and mine, where the rich patron and the alchemist produce weapons, armor and other impediments of war and selling them. A competitor, or someone who stand to gain from their loss, has decided on an extreme way to end this whole affair – to make the volcano erupts again.
