Spark Basin

The magical experiments of the God of Enigmatic Decay are far reaching in the bogs, causing damage and changes to the environment around it, one such destructive remnant is the Spark Basin. The basin is a pool of water 20m in diameter fed by a roiling waterfall that has strong forces of artificial lighting dancing across its surface, killing most of the creatures that originally called it home. The cause of this is a stone fortress-like building that bisects the waterfall. There is a powerful magical force emanating from the building and odd wheel and doweled machinery peaking from its otherwise stone surface. No one involved with its creation kept their memories of it and the purpose and function is lost in the maze of the fallen Tower of Tomes.

What is odd is one breed of salamander that has not only survived but thrived in the basin. The salamanders have grown ten times their size, gained a bluish tone, and seemingly hold lightning in their very eyes. They seem to feed off the energy as they have not engaged in hunting the nearby big but the salamanders are territorial to the already dangerous current present makes this basin an unwelcoming place for most living things and the locals focus their efforts in not allowing the magic of creatures to spread.
