Lenfald LC 17 - The Dragon's Maw
The oldest and most terrifying of Lenfald's natural wonders is the Dragon's Maw, which sits at the root of the Dragonscale Mountains and for which both that range and the city of Dragonsmouth were named. The Dragon's Maw is the fearsome entrance to a massive cavern that is said to lead down into the very bowels of the earth. The rock in its interior and the landscape in front of it is scorched and nothing has grown there for ages. Its name is derived from both its resemblance to a monster's jaws and from the heat that constantly radiates from its core. At intervals ranging from a few months to centuries apart, the mountain will begin to shake and rumble and a deep orange glow will appear within the Dragon's Maw, followed by an explosion of fire and ash from within the beast. The fire consumes all in its path and then dies away, leaving all peaceful and still once again. The ancient tribes that once inhabited the mountain would offer sacrifices to try to appease the beast and quell its rage, but they eventually abandoned the area altogether. The Dragon's Maw has lain dormant for almost a century now... who knows when it might come back to life?
