==General Information==
[[Image:Cauldron and Temple.png|thumb]]
The Cauldron of Shadows is a jungle within a giant impact crater to the South of [[Jahanna Desert]], surrounded by xeric scrubland.  It is built primarily as a Grandmaster training area, where the monsters are high XP, have respectable gold comparable to the desert, and largely have low magic resistance, but are extremely dangerous to fight.
==Points of Interest==
At the dead centre of the crater is a structure known as the [[Temple of Sun and Shadow]], the area's dungeon.

There are two encampments located within the jungle - one in the North-East and one in the South-East.  The one in the North-East is known as the Inquisitors' Encampment and houses a detachment of Inquisitors, where the [[Marshal of the Inquisition]] can be killed for his [[Inquisitor's Key]], while the other is the Tribal Settlement housing jungle natives.  Their [[Cauldron Chieftain|chieftain]] holds the [[Stone Key]] to the [[Temple of Sun and Shadow]], and you must pass through this settlement to reach said temple.
