Vulcan's Forge (also known simply as The Forge) is a vast desert area and canyon complex located on Vulcan. At its center are the Fire Plains of Raal, and the city of ShiKahr is one of several located at its periphery. Also within the Forge are Mount Seleya, and the volcanically active region known as the Womb of Fire. The Forge is home to a variety of animal- and plant-life adapted to severe desert conditions, including sehlats and le-matya. For cities near the Forge, it is the site of the traditional kahs-wan trial.
