At the very end of the first day in the Royal Library, Irio finds the journal of Shariku the Wanderer. Digging into it on the following day, this journal reveal that Shariku once travelled from the north, over the Iron Mountains to reach Hazkorin.
On the way, Shariku speaks of encountering a volcano complex, described as just south of a large forest, west of an open plane, at the western edge of some mountains before beginning the ascent to the White Mountains.
The complex was inhabited by some pig-cult: strange squat creatures who worshipped a giant pig totem. Shariku traded with them a bit - they apparently have no need for silver or gold, prefering instead metals that can be worked into tools, or shiny gems occasionally.
The complex itself is surrounded by thick forest, though the slopes of the two volcanic peaks are easy to make out from the distance. Smoke or steam occasionally could be seen emerging from the hills.
How would Irio like to proceed? If the location is on the far side of the White Mountains, that means it's probably a multi-week expedition to just get there.
Who or what would Irio like to bring with them? (other characters? hirelings? etc)
