Mount Taniyan

The largest active volcano in Stolaria, its caldera emits a steady flow of lava along regularly carved channels. The ancestral home for a number of dwarven thrives, long has the phrase Taniyan steel been the byword for quality.
The northern slops of the mountain are occupied by the elves of Chean in recent centuries, as they successfully drove the independent dwarven into the arms of the nation of Arg, who dominate the southern slopes. So bold were the elves that they choose to found their capital of Mercuria in the shadow of the volcano, a reflection of the Argothian capital of Forgehome, one cast in shinning gold the other in dark iron.
The Argothian Seer-Smiths are have a unique appreciate for the heat and iron of the Mountain and thousands of their floating forges drive the industry of Forgehome.
