The Ash Pools are a series of scalding volcanic pools, surrounded by jagged rocks and steam rising into the air. Warriors come here to immerse themselves in the boiling waters, enduring the pain to strengthen their minds and bodies while chanting ancient mantras. Those who remain submerged long enough may experience vivid visions of past warriors, their whispers echoing through the mist, offering guidance or warnings from beyond.

The pools shimmer with a dark, oily surface, reflecting the fiery glow of the surrounding lava flows. The air is thick with steam, and the ground is scorched and cracked, dotted with blackened stones and ash.
