Kol-tukulg

A plume of ash swirls over Kol-Tukulg, a dramatic volcano in the Forest Ridge. At most times, the mountain is quiet, but now and then, the cloud of ash and smoke pouring from its apex swells alarmingly. When this occurs, nearby halfling tribes mount an expedition to the summit and throw several living sacrifices into the caldera. They believe that this method is the only way to quiet KolTukulg of the Fiery Tread, a terrible elemental creature that lairs in the fiery caverns of the volcano that bears its name. Ancient wards of primal magic trap the mighty being in the mountain, but the defenses have weakened over the centuries, and the elemental grows restive.
