Founded by the Arch-Mage Surabar Spellmason during his war to rid the land of the taint from the Demonskar. The aptly named city of Cauldron is nestled in the throat of a dormant volcano. This frontier city has thrived in a hostile environment for almost 700 years. Cauldron's buildings are tightly packed and build from volcanic rock and wood. Cobblestone roads form concentric circles around a small but deep lake of cold water which fills the volcano's basin. The town's sewage seeps into the lake requiring the local clerics to routinely purify the water. As the filth rolls downhill money rolls uphill. The regions nearer the rim of the city tend to be occupied by upper class families and elite merchants. The closer one gets to the center of town, and the often pungent odor of the lake, the shoddier the construction (some buildings are all wood) and the more dangerous the alleys. 50-foot-tall fortified walls of black malachite encircle the city. With four roads descending the volcano's slopes, becoming major thoroughfares that lead to other towns and distant realms. Most people get around on foot, although the town has its share of wagons and carriages, most owned by merchants and nobles. Cauldron's major exports come from two sources: mines and plantations. Both industries are based in the hills surrounding the city. Obsidian and diamonds are the primary products mined. Plantations usually produce sugarcane and coffee. While water is never scarce the fishing from the lake is modest and the local farms do not produce enough to feed the city. Therefore, most of the city's food is imported from farms and fisheries surrounding Sasserine.
