Description of Firemouth Outpost:

Mining facility on the edge of the boiling sea where you can go to be part of the work crews, and support workers.

Miners work in shifts with a shift lead and many people below them, they work in large semi mechanical suits that protect from the crushing depths and the pressure of being down that far.

The corporation pays in script “gears” and there are sterling pounds as well as the metal that is mined at the spouts of the boiling sea.
