Hot Spring Description
(Scaled for Vulkarion Blazeclaw with Correct Species Anatomy)
Location Name: Skyforge Serenity Spring
Environment Type: High-Mountain Titan-Class Thermal Basin
Size and Layout:
Radius: 260–300 meters wide to fit a dragon measuring 72 meters tall with wings fully open
Depth down: 55–95 meters at its center, deep enough for a titan-forged dragon's broad chest and belly to submerge while keeping head and shoulders above water without neck overextension
Shape: Oval with reinforced volcanic stone ledges lining the interior for balance, naturally smoothed by geothermal activity
Water Characteristics:
Temperature: Stable 55–62°C, focused around central heat vents
Color: Deep azure with streaks of molten-gold and silver visible beneath the surface from Tech-infused mineral content
Steam: Dense rolling mist, swirling heavily at shoulder height for Vulkarion, hiding much of his lower body while keeping his upper torso visible
Scent: Metallic with an undercurrent of scorched stone and faint ozone
Surroundings:
Terrain: Sheer black volcanic cliffs on one side and glacier-packed stone walls on the other, forming a wind-protected thermal pocket
Vegetation: Minimal—glowing moss veins and frost crystals adhering to rocks rather than plants or trees
Wildlife: Occasional sky-serpents and storm hawks circling above, otherwise eerily silent
Titan-Class Adaptations:
Depth and size designed for dragons with short, broad necks like Vulkarion. The pool's slope allows him to rest without needing to crane or arch his neck uncomfortably
His positioning:
Neck: Anchored low and broad into his shoulders, naturally upright without needing to stretch to keep his head above water
Shoulders and upper back: Remain mostly above waterline
Belly, flanks, and wings: Fully submerged up to the chest, wings spread or folded along the surface for balance
Rest ledges positioned at an optimal height beneath the water for his forelegs and hind legs, allowing him to stabilize without putting strain on his joints
