The Serpentforge is the great naga war foundry of the Viruganis Seamount. Here, many of their weapons are crated by the wicked Lord Arietis using slave labor.
Background
Before the rise of Zin-Azshari, the region that became the Viruganis Seasmount was known as the Boiling Terrace. Innumerable volcanic vents filled the seas with scalding heat and mineral plumes of superheated water. Many deep sea lifeforms inhabited the area, adapted to the heat and gorging on the mineral-rich silt. The power of elemental fire was strong in this region, and the forces of elemental fire and water were in a constant state of flux.
Azshara heedlessly tore the region free from the seafloor, casting it up to the surface to form the Viruganis Seamount. The power of elemental flame was allowed to run wild, increasing the thermal activity of the land and triggering numerous volcanoes to erupt. The entire region has become a conflagration, with vast banks of soot and smoke blocking the sun overhead. The naga have harnessed the unfettered elemental powers of the land to fuel their war industry, epitomized in the great Serpentforge, the largest of their foundry-volcanoes.
Dungeon Journal
At the blazing heart of the Viruganis Seamount, the menacing Serpentforge rises up to blot out the sun. This colossal volcanic seavent has been carved into a foundry of war by the naga, who use slave labor to mine and smelt their weapons. The sinister naga lord Arietis rules here, having learned the secrets of forging elementium from the sinister faceless ones who have allied themselves with Azshara.
