Points of Interest

It may function only intermittently, now, or its effects may have curdled into something double-edged. The locals have no idea how to fix it, and indeed, it may not be possible to repair it with modern science or sorcery.

Qabîj-g̈îqano Dêtîkè's is something of a geological and arcane anomaly, as neither physical nor magical law entirely explains its formation.
