Hey all,
I've noticed something I can't figure out - in Dungeon #139, There Is No Honor, in room D31, there's a flavor description of Rowyn's lounge...
"A shelf to the north holds several books, statuettes, stuffed animals, a crystal ball with a smoky red light at its core..."
The crystal isn't described afterwards. Is it magical or some knick-knack?
It probably is nothing of importance, though it is conspicuously absent from the descriptions under treasure.
It seems neat though, whatever it is.
Based on the title of your post I thought you were asking what is in the background on each page, and I was going to answer you and feel really smart. But instead I just replied to your post with no helpful information at all.
Cheers!
I bet it started out as a super reved-up abyssal palantir, probably the missing left eye of Demogorgon's right head or something, originally intended to give the PCs, in the very last climax of episode 12, one last desperate hope of saving all humanity, the great wheel, and time itself (and all that goes along with those goodies, even lava lamps), . . . but, in the final edit, word limits necessitated reducing it to a lava lamp right away.

Magma Lamp of the Efreet
These glass spheres filled with smoke and other essential essences of the Elemental Plane of Fire white are often used as decorative items within the City of Brass, and upon command, the magma and smoke within can give off a swirling display of shapes and colours that has the effect of a calm emotions spell with a radius of 20 ft and a duration of 1 minute to anyone who fails a Will save (DC 12). As a slight benefit, they also give off light as a candle.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, calm emotions; Price 8,000 gp;Weight 1/2 lb.
(yeah, nothin' but a good ol' efreet lamp, sure, sure . . . that's just what Demogorgon and his nefarious minion Mr. Jacobs WANT us to think it is . . . )
Maybe it's made from the immature offspring of giant fire beetles. No, sorry, that's a larva lamp.
