A suffusion of yellow
The Plume
About 20 miles out from the Farrago rivermouth a billowing plume of steam and ash rises from the broiling waters. The water around this plume is yellowed and sulfurous and a danger to unprotected craft and swimmers. Deep beneath the waves the plume spouts up from a bottomless trench, it's entrance eight miles across and maybe 30 miles long. The sides of the trench are crawling with gigantic corals, sea anemone, crabs, tubeworms and other sea life which would usually be found at deeper levels.
The most unusual denizens of the trench however are the gnomes, who maintain an extensive burrow in the walls of the trench, powered by the volcanic plume, with breathable air geneated by cultivation of an unusal sponge. These gnomes mine the useful alchemical substances found in the trench and get around by use of a fleet of Kwalish apparatus.
The gnomes only go ashore at night and otherwise avoid contact with the land dwellers
