2565 "You are on the edge of a breath-taking view.
2566 Far below you is an active volcano, from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out,
2567 cascading back down into the depths.
2568 The glowing rock fills the farthest reaches of the cavern with a blood-red glare,
2569 giving everything an eerie, macabre appearance.
2570 The air is filled with flickering sparks of ash and a heavy smell of brimstone.
2571 The walls are hot to the touch,
2572 and the thundering of the volcano drowns out all other sounds.
2573 Embedded in the jagged roof far overhead
2574 are myriad twisted formations composed of pure white alabaster,
2575 which scatter the murky light into sinister apparitions upon the walls.
2576 To one side is a deep gorge, filled with a bizarre chaos of tortured rock
2577 which seems to have been crafted by the devil himself.
2578 An immense river of fire crashes out from the depths of the volcano,
2579 burns its way through the gorge, and plummets into a bottomless pit far off to your left.
2580 To the right, an immense geyser of blistering steam erupts continuously
2581 from a barren island in the center of a sulfurous lake, which bubbles ominously.
2582 The far right wall is aflame with an incandescence of its own,
2583 which lends an additional infernal splendor to the already hellish scene.
2584 A dark, forboding passage exits to the south.",
