Spurgeon

Spurgeon is the Region Tyrant of Noxtyres. It is currently taking the form of "Furnace". Its lives in the Forge, the Ethr Zone that lies at the bottom of the Crucible.

Appearance
The Furnace has laid dormant within the Forge for at least half a millennia now, its form will have likely changed from the last time it was active.

However, the last form the Region Tyrant took is akin to what would be called, outside of E44's canonicity, a Lava Elemental. A roughly humanoid-shaped mass of bubbling, churning lava and molten rock. The sheer amount of light and heat emitted from the furnace makes it nigh impossible to look at head-on.

It also seems to be constantly exploding. Not lots of little explosions happening at the same time. One, big Explosion that hasn't finished and never will.

Ethr Zone of Residence
Spurgeon lies at the bottom of the Forge, the Ethr Zone located at the bottom of Noxtyres' Crucible. It's a large dome of an unknown metal, most of which is entirely underground, save from the very tip which can be seen at the bottom of the Crucible. This tip of the Forge spans 3 kilometres. Anything that get's too close to the Forge will melt. Anything and everything, including Pallobalt.

Notable Strengths
The Forge is the only material in the entire world that won't fucking melt on impact when it comes into contact with The Furnace.

The Furnace is so hot that anything unprotected from its radiation will explode instantly.

Nothing has made physical contact with the Furnace and lived.

History
A few decades after the 1st Calamity, all the way back in Era I when people were weird and were starting to believe in all that medieval shit again. The recently created Crucible was filled with a deadly mix of Lava and Ethraksha, the kind of stuff you do not want to fall in to. But since everyone was out here acting like this is episode 9 of Devilman Crybaby, people were getting chucked into it left and right in order to appease gods that don't actually exist.

Over time, that giant cesspool of Lava/Ethraksha/Melted corpses/Sacrificial prayers took the form that people believed it had in the first place.

Impact on Region
Noxtyres' entire economy depends on the free energy provided by the Forge. The Region has the monopoly over Pallobalt production; the temperatures reached  the bottom of their Region Tyrant's Essence Hub are some of the only in Arcerra hot enough to melt the metal.

The heat also emitted from the Forge is also used to power the generators in power stations throughout the Region
