Pho Yim

From PathfinderWiki
(Redirected from Mount Pho-Yim)

Pho Yim, sometimes written Mount Pho-Yim, is an enormous volcano located in the south of Tang Mai that looms over the nation's capital of Surat Prakan1 and is a part of the vast Kullan Dei mountain range. While Pho Yim is currently not active, it does smoke ominously2 and it is rumoured that its molten fury is only held at bay by the harmony of the five sorcerous rulers of Tang Mai.3 Nevertheless, During the Age of Ascendancy, the volcano did erupt explosively destroying much of Tang Mai in 7099 IC and, some say, in consequence of the invasion of the country by Lung Wa some years previously.4

The local hero Ankilhi used the fires of Pho Yim to forge a tetsubo out of the remains of the graveknight Pnao Kilnak.5
