[edit] Description

Fire Spring is a valley on the edge of the Rang'Shada Mountains near the Agaden Reach in the Midlands. In Fire Spring, there are a number of vents where steam comes up from the ground. From other openings, water boils up from below. In yet other openings, other things boil, foul-smelling yellow liquid and thick mud. Rumbles can be heard and felt from the ground, some followed by great belches of steam roaring from the vents. The awful suffocating smell of sulfur wafted up to where they hid in the stunted trees of the high ridge. The fumes keep people away from Fire Spring.

During the reign of Darken Rahl, dozens of short-tailed gars called the Fire Spring their home. Near the back, a hill rises up where the biggest vent is. On top of the hill was the egg of the dragon, Scarlet, which Darken Rahl had stolen in order to subjugate the red dragon and use her for traveling quickly throughout the New World.

Near where the egg was, just above on the side of the hill is a cave that goes all the way through the mountain, to the valley on the other side. It is the cave of the Shadrin.
