The Sekret Volcano Lair

The Sekret Volcano Lair is the name given to a secret hideaway that belonged to Prinx Tempest. Founded during the relatively brief reign of House Incendium in what was once the US State of California, this place used to be the main military installation of the House. It is located somewhere in the Clear Lake Volcanic Field, although no one but Prinx Tempest, Queen Sable and the Owsla knows its precise location.

Purpose / Function

It seems likely that Prinx Tempest originally built the Sekret Volcano Lair in order to have a place to retreat from the world where few other people could safely go. As they gathered fire-oriented beings into House Incendium, it became a base of operations for the activities of the House, and served as a command center for House Incendium during The Second Word War.

Not yet relevant to the plot of Game of Tomes, so I have no idea.

Architecture

The original "building" was either adapted from existing tunnels formed over the millennia, or it was rough-hewn from the rock, likely by the Great Flame melting selected parts of the rock and then re-directing the magma. It is also possible that the Prinx re-directed existing magma flows to open up other caverns. It is doubtful that it has any such modern amenities as electricity, since it seems likely wiring would simply melt in such close proximity to open magma, but this remains unconfirmed.

Dunno! We'll make it up if it ever becomes important. :D I assume it involves LAVA.

History

When House Incendium folded, the Sekret Volcano Lair was annexed by House Lapin and incorporated into the Lapin Protectorate. It appears it was simply abandoned for a time as Prinx Tempest became increasingly involved in the politics of House Lapin, and the protection of their royal sister during their tenure as part of the Owsla.   When Prinx Tempest began to see a therapist, they retreated occasionally to the Sekret Volcano Lair in order to get alone time away from their family and the pressures of royal life. On at least one occasion, they did so without informing anyone, spawning a frantic search. The Bunny Queen eventually found her sibling, however, and the search was called off.   The Sekret Volcano Lair is believed to have been destroyed in an earthquake that took place off the coast of California in early 2024.
