The short answer to that is probably: no. But that doesn't mean you can't have a dormant volcano in the Thunder Peaks or the Storm Horns which comes back to life.

It's been said that the smoke from the furnaces of the Hornshield fortress, which occupies a cleft in Mount Shalandragar [in the Storm Horns], has sometimes been mistaken as a volcano.
Given what George said above, you could suggest that what's providing most of the heat and fire for those furnaces is a partially tapped magma core (or a semi-decayed mantle plume perhaps) of a once active volcano in the region.

That's perfect, thanks Sage. My guys are in Arabel and they're around 15th level now so I thought I'd like to throw some fire giants their way. I'd been tinkering with some ideas for a fire giant encounter based in or around a volcano, but I never remember to do it when they are near a volcano or high enough level to survive. Any tips on fire giant lore sources? |

Giantcraft has a few specific tidbits on Fire Giants in the Realms -- such as society, politics, and the like -- in the 'Fire Giant Hall' section.

| There are fire giants in the Desertmouth Mountains, in and near the dwarven ruins of Tethyamar. There are also fire giants in the Flamming Tower between Daggerdale and Teshendale. Neither group has a volcano, but there could easily be lava in/around the underdark caverns of Tethymar. Neither location is terribly far for 15th level charactes in Arabel |
