Serpents of fire, and other portents

Post by metalslime »

The tremors that have frightened the citizens of Drache over the past few days have distracted many from other strange phenomena, but these latter signs are now beginning to come to people's notice. Since shortly after the quake that set everything off, strange plumes of smoke and steam have been seen rising from the sea to the south-southwest, often accompanied by a dull red glow. Passing ships have now confirmed fire below the waves some distance in that direction, moving like serpents along the ground to highlight a growing mass steadily building from a constant venting of molten rock. At the rate that it has been climbing, it may very well breach the surface within a few days time. The water near this area is near scalding.

Further, entire schools of fish have washed up on shore, and while some show evidence of having been caught by the rising temperatures in the vicinity of the plume of steam, others merely appear to have died en masse, and been left to float wherever the current may take them.
