The Boiling Ā River
A river runs through the heart of Seaheim. Once known as The River Nosca, it has been more commonly known asĀ āThe Boiling Riverā for years now. Itās history is bloody, because underneath the river sits a leyline, a leyline is a remnant of Vemorās blood when he sacrificed his power to save the mortals of Seaheim. Leylines are pure arcane magic, and radiate power that attracts ambitious humanoids and greedy monsters, who almost always clash with each other in order to sieze the leyline. The most famous of these was a battle between the Fire Giant Emperor named Rosheen Cinderbellow and the Ancient Red Wyrm Vekonolox.Ā
The two met each other with mighty blows and powerful magic, but found that they couldnāt damage each other through each of their various defensive wards and such, which were amplified by the leylines. Days later, they each succumbed to exhaustion, where a nearby Snakefolk regiment had been lying in wait for the perfect oppurtunity to strike. Weakening them with debilitating poisons, the Pitmaster leading them sliced each other the gargantuan combtants throats, then threw the blade he used to the bottom of the river. The now dead creatures bled for years, the magmatic blood in their veins causing an endless boiling effect.
Years later, several powerful wizards founded the Eye of Vemor, a group of magic users dedicated to preserving and making sure nobody abuses the leylines. They can be found undercover near known or unknown leylines, as such they have many outposts in fishing villages along the Boiling River.
