Guldat is a dead volcano of the Borngring Wastes. Named after a hero that fought alongside Surtur in the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE), Guldat is a place of many legends. In the Lith-Crillion Era, after the demons had been driven from Bal-Kriav, Guldat became the home of nearly a hundred fire giants; all ex-soldiers of Surtur.
Early in the Horgon Era, Guldat's giants were led by a charismatic figure named Kelksorli. A fire giant with promises to above, he was a given a secret of Guldat that would change the status quo for the entire wasteland. Guldat's eruption in 110 HE, some claim the last gasp of the true Guldat, unleashed rivers of lava. They were the perfect opportunity for a massive offensive against the Volgads, and more importantly, rallying the fire giant tribes under Kelksorli; a mere mortal, yet favored by Surtur. In what became known as the Lava Flood War (110 HE - 125 HE), the fire giants under Kelksorli drove the Volgad from their ancestral homes.
The 110 HE eruption of Guldat was anything but natural. It flowed continuously, right up until the fall of Imrik. Any unbiased investigation will find that Surtur was behind this eruption.
- Azôn Zinabêth, Nithian historian of Volgad, from vol. 3 of "The Volgads"
In 125 HE, the same year that Imrik fell to the giants, Guldat went silent, never to erupt again.
