Where, in Riven, is Gahreesen?

No, the super dome was powered by fire marbles - you align them correctly on the top level, and once you turn on the device, they are shaken so they give off their energy. The fire marbles have been modified by Gehn so they don't just glow, but explode. That's what powers the book domes. No idea how the energy is transported though...
Back on topic - because the dome is only activated later on and you can (and have to) spin the room before, the room can't possibly be powered by the dome.

That distributes the power from the fire marbles to the book domes. Don't ask me how it is transmitted (electricity, steam, pressure?), but it cannot power the spinning room for reasons that I already stated before.
Also, regarding where the steam comes from - Riven probably has lots of volcanic activity, so the steam vents are most likely natural.Charura wrote:If the steam is already present then why should you need to ignite the flame on that island (under the boiler - hut)?
If you're talking about Crater/Book Making/Boiler Island, that boiler was used in the process of book making - it didn't produce steam, it just boiled water so...umm...I dunno...they could throw shredded wood in there? Whatever, it doesn't produce steam.
