The Pools of Wittebak

The Pools of Wittebak are located in the Cliffkeep Mountains, between 100 and 120 miles east from Terrah. In a forest ravine not far from the pools there is a single small home which is inhabited by Sprigg.

Pools
It has a series of geothermic large puddles across the mountainside, most of them are poisoned. These puddles once brought various minerals up to the surface from the deep waters beneath the mountain. This was until hill giants moved in hundreds of years ago thy stomped around and ended up filling the entire subterranean gnomish city of Wittebak with fumes and poison. This killed most of the gnomes living there and the rest fled to Kraghammer.

In the side of the mountain not far from the pools there are large mounds of mud and scrap wood that have been built into large hill giant domiciles. Which makes it kind like a hill giant water park.

Forest
A thousand or more feet to the east from the mountainside plants begin to grow. This is because of the toxic chemicals that burbled up in some of those pools have made a lot of the ground there unable to give any forest life or sustain any large trees and makes it not a thick forest.

Within there, it's not a super thick canopy. There are breaks in the canopy that let the sunbeams in and makes it a nice, warm forest. There is a lot of life in the forest, including squirrels and wolverine-like creatures. In the forest there is a small house that is very shaded in the forest. This is the house of Sprigg the Obnoxious.
