Notes:The city's buildings, tightly packed and built from volcanic rock and wood, line the inner bowl of a nameless, dormant volcano. Cobblestone roads form concentric circles around a small lake of cold water, which fills the volcano's basin.
Although the city's sewage seeps into the lake, local clerics provide purified water to citizens in exchange for charitable donations to their temples.
A 50-foot tall fortified wall of black malachite encircles the city, tracing the outer rim of the volcano. Four roads descend the outer walls of the volcano, becoming major thoroughfares that lead to other towns and distant realms.
The districts nearer the rim of the city tend to be occupied by upper class families and elite merchants. The closer one gets to the centre of the city (and the closer to the pungent odors of the central lake), the shoddier the construction and the more dangerous the dark alleys.
Most people get around Cauldron on foot, although the town has its share of wagons and carriages, most of them owned by merchants and nobles.
