A Trek across an Ever-changing Land
Will your travels encompass only the heat of battle, or will you find the warmth of friendship and befriend one of the Volcano's denizens?
Spectral Duskflapper
Familiar
In a peculiar feat of biological engineering, these rough-hide bats are brimming with a blue-hot internal combustion that can cause an explosion if one is not careful around them.
2525
Armored Duskflapper
Familiar
Thousands of years of evolution have granted this bat hardened armor to protect against falling magmatic debris.
2525
Chillwind Harpy
Familiar
In one of Sornieth's finest shows of migration, this sect of harpies has moved from the Southern Icefield to the Ashfall Waste and never looked back.
2525
Stormcloud Harpy
Familiar
Willing to make the best of a bad situation, these Southern Icefield emigrants use their spelled snow to cool the ground where they keep their homes.
2525
Flamescale Illusionist
Familiar
The Flamescale clan's mysterious magi draw their power from the powerful tectonic activity of the area, culminating in potent spells.
2525
Flamescale Venomcaster
Familiar
If the heat weren't enough, the mix of boiling hot poisons will likely take care of any would-be assailant.
2525
Fiendcat
Familiar
Fiendcats are known as one of Sornieth's only feral predatory mammals to cook their food before they eat it. One pounce works to get a good sear going.
2525
Flamerest Fiendcat
Familiar
A fiendcat that is ill will produce only smoke.
2525
Ashspine Widow
Familiar
A gnarly, vicious land spider that is more at home on the cooled lava than you are. There is definitely reason for concern.
2525
Firebelly Weaver
Familiar
The chilled webbing emitted by this nasty arachnid is highly flame-retardant. It is not uncommon for weavers to build massive webs above magma vents to catch careless vent-hopping lizards.
2525
Dreadram
Familiar
Dread doesn't even really begin to describe the feeling one should have when this upsetting creature charges.
2525
Ultraram
Familiar
Quite an upgrade from the Ram and Superram. Credit where credit is due.
2525
Flamescale Spearman
Familiar
It's almost impossible to truly incapacitate these grizzled fighters unless you disarm them.
2525
Flamescale Lancer
Familiar
Though already quick as a whip, these skilled fighters can increase their deadliness by hurling their finely-crafted spears to help close range with their enemies.
2525
Ghost Manticore
Familiar
This decorated creature uses its barbed tail and powerful wings to fight targets in the air as well as on the ground.
2525
Firemane Manticore
Familiar
Grace and ferocity all bundled into one: this fiery feline knows how to battle, and knows how to win.
2525
Basalt Vent Hop
Familiar
This springy lizard uses its powerful legs and the reliable burst of hot air from magma vents to quickly traverse lava floes.
2525
Magma Runner
Familiar
It is difficult to discern these quick lizards from their surroundings. When the heat goes up, bioluminescent membranes in their leathery skin begin to glow a deep red.
2525
Tunnel Hydra
Familiar
That groundquake isn't an erupting volcano. Steer clear of the vents if you don't want to play an unpleasant game of whack-a-head.
4725
Hydra
Familiar
Will you forget the head-slicing thing?!
4725
Nightfall Imp
Familiar
Often seen where lava meets the sea, these elusive imps use the guise of smoke to befuddle assailants, or even trick them into falling in the boiling water off the coast.
2525
Ignited Imp
Familiar
Imps are notorious for seeking an evil overlord to follow. Left to their own devices, these creatures' unchecked mischief can cause a lot of damage.
2525
Serthis Loremaster
Familiar
As the legend goes: parchment and flame do not mix.
2525
Serthis Archivist
Familiar
Scrollkeepers for the Flamescale clan, these studious serthis are careful to protect their writings from wayward embers and open flames.
2525
Ophiotaurus
Familiar
A combination of a bone-crushing squeeze and a powerful front kick is likely what comes at the end of an altercation with this monster.
2525
Ashscale Ophiotaurus
Familiar
You'd think that, as a serpent, having hooves would be a detriment. You'd be wrong.
2525
A Hoard of Loot
The Volcanic Vents introduces a variety of new items for your dragons to consume, barter or hoard. Finding each of these resources and relics can be a challenge.
Spectral Bat
Meat
Not a whole lot of the extraordinary here. Just a spooky bat.
37
4
Vampire Bat
Meat
In a stunning display of irony, this critter feeds primarily on duskflapper blood.
37
4
Spectral Scales
Organics
One of the harder materials on Sornieth, these scales are worked into a fine point to be used in arrows or small throwing weapons.
41
Armored Scales
Organics
These scales are thick and strong. If layered carefully, they lend themselves well to the creation of shields and breastplates.
41
Sweet Potato Vine
Plant
The roots of this plant produce a hearty bulb that provides starch to a diet. The leaves are good too!
37
4
Crimson Rootvine
Plant
Nearly all of this plant grows beneath the ground, save for a few small flowers. Digging it up can be quite a chore.
37
4
Azure Yuccarope
Dragonmade
This strong rope can hold an impressive amount of weight before breaking.
41
Scarlet Yuccaweave
Dragonmade
Though practical, this deep red-colored rope can stain fabrics pink if stored together.
41
Siltvine
Plant
The ground stems of the siltvine can be used as the last important reagent to activate a bubbling poison, or sprinkled on foods to bring out their flavor. Risk or reward?
37
4
Anubias Nana
Plant
This aquatic plant is hardy enough to grow in the mineral-overloaded waters where the lava flow enters the lake.
37
4
Eerie Cloth Trappings
Dragonmade
The patterning is beautiful and haunting.
41
Spare Material
Dragonmade
A thick scrap of muslin fabric adorned with a striped pattern. Not much use on its own.
41
Acid Widow
Insect
Didn't think it was possible to make a spider even worse? Nature has been severely underestimated.
37
4
Cinder Creeper
Insect
This gleaming black spider is undeterred by even the harshest heat. Swarms are frequently seen crawling in and out of smoldering trees or shrubs.
37
4
Pulsating Green Embers
Organics
These markers are a sure way to track fiendcats, even over long distances. They last for weeks, even without fuel.
41
Flamerest Embers
Organics
Due to their long-lasting warmth, it is a common to see both dragons and serthis gathering these curious embers for use in the persistent heating of lairs or cauldrons.
41
Rosaline Gulper
Seafood
These odd fishes propel themselves by constantly swallowing excessive amounts of warm water and expelling them out of gills near their tails. Seems like a lot of work.
37
4
Firebelly Shark
Seafood
This brave little fish will often act more imposing than it appears.
37
4
Singed Webbing
Organics
This miracle of nature can actually be woven to produce flame-resistant clothing for use by dragons that may not have started their lives in the Ashfall Waste.
41
Sticky Webbing
Organics
An impossibly sticky clump of webbing that may never lose its tackiness. It is useful as an adhesive for crafters. Just don't get it on your claws!
41
Lesser Dreadram
Meat
These smaller, less-imposing creatures are routinely seen in large groups flanking a single dreadram—who is itself a rare and buffed out mutation of the species.
37
4
Ram
Meat
Because 'wham' just didn't sound as good.
37
4
Spade Tail
Organics
Whoa, whoa. Hold up. ...It's still wriggling.
41
Spiny Tail
Organics
The unfortunate remains of the rare ultraram. Not the most impressive battle trophy.
41
Smolderpetal
Plant
Easier to gather than the Speckled Fire Lily, this hardy flower tastes absolutely divine after a good roast.
37
4
Speckled Fire Lily
Plant
It can be difficult to harvest fire lilies, which often grow very close to active magma vents. Scoring a basketful is quite a treat.
37
4
Sharpened Serthis Lance
Trinkets
A deadly spear of polished brass.
41
Sharpened Serthis Spear
Trinkets
A dangerous spear constructed of polished steel, adorned with ripped blue fabric. Serthis use these lances as both weapons and battle standards.
41
Hardshell Moonsting
Insect
Nocturnal and quite ornery, these angry arachnids seem to sting creatures just for the fun of it.
37
4
Softshell Scorpion
Insect
The heated landscape in which this creature lives has kept its exoskeleton soft and malleable.
37
4
Glittering Bluesilver Torc
Trinkets
A strong neck ring in polished blue-stained silver. Too small to fit around the neck of most dragons, but makes an excellent bracelet in some cases.
41
Brilliant Brass Torc
Trinkets
Does this go with your eyes?
41
Carpenter's Bane
Insect
You're gonna wanna keep this beetle very far from your lumber.
37
4
Longhorn Scritcher
Insect
These elusive insects are kind of like artichoke leaves. One needs to eat approximately five thousand of them to even remotely feel satisfied.
37
4
Glossy Frills
Organics
Frills of this quality can be patched together to create a stained-glass effect.
41
Display Frills
Organics
Every year it seems as if the display frills get sharper.
41
Giant Oarfish
Seafood
These oddball fish can grow to be eighty feet long and are hardly ever seen unless they die and float to the surface. Water dragons consider it a feast if one can be caught alive.
360
13
Oarfish
Seafood
Finding an oarfish is where the challenge begins. Digesting them is where it ends.
360
13
Ivory Comb
Trinkets
A decorative, sturdy comb made of carved ivory and dried, tightly-wrapped reeds. Could fetch a healthy sum at the markets.
360
Fancy Comb
Trinkets
A decorative, sturdy comb made of seashells and carved wood. The teeth are almost sharp enough that it could be used as a weapon in addition to a practical tool.
360
Opossum
Meat
The opossum is actually a quite gentle, docile, and loving creature. This one was just making a really weird face at the time.
37
4
Inferno Possum
Meat
...is a really good band name.
37
4
Stardust Sap Lamp
Trinkets
A specialized lamp that uses sap from birch trees in the Starwood Strand. It emits an eerie blue flame.
41
Antique Oil Lamp
Trinkets
Dusty, rusty, reliable.
41
Scorpion Fly
Insect
Despite its imposing silhouette, the scorpion fly only keeps its tail for a few days after shedding its larval form. Pity, that's the tastiest part.
37
4
Winged Barb
Insect
Oh... oh. So scorpions can fly now.
37
4
Historical Text
Trinkets
A long, storied history of the rise of the Serthis is scrawled on this parchment, written from the perspective of a Serthis too young to fight.
41
Long Form Poetry
Trinkets
An impressively long poem telling the legend of the First Four dragon gods. Generations have colored the tale to be more cynical and critical.
41
Warmwater Twister
Seafood
Twisters wrap their tails to an anchor point and snatch smaller fish caught in powerful deepwater vortices.
37
4
Firecoiler
Seafood
One of the only species in the realm that can survive in molten lava, the firecoiler is known to lurch from scalding pools to latch onto victims and drag them back in.
37
4
Intricate Woodsculpt
Trinkets
A sculpture of solid ash wood in the shape of an Ophiotaurus.
41
Fine Woodsculpt
Trinkets
A masterful carving depicting an Ashscale Ophiotaurus. The details are amazing!

Molten Crucible
Chests
A red-hot crucible filled with... gold!?
