Within the Bronze Wood, less than a quarter hours walk from Syliras, lies a fairly popular hotspring that most of the locals know about. Sacred arch has been given its name due to a natural land bridge of stone that the stream has eaten away at until only the arch remains. The steaming waters flow all year long, even when Syliras gets its occasional cold spells and extremely rare instances of snow. The hotsprings are considered relatively safe so often local children - older ones - can be found relaxing in the soothing waters. The Syliran Knights who patrol the Bronze Wood often make Sacred Arch part of their rounds, so that limits the dangers considerably. The waters themselves are thick with minerals and extremely warm. They do a great deal of good to those with circulation problems, recovering from wounds that have damaged muscles, or the aged which experience aches and pains in their joints and limbs. Sacred Arch is often also considered a special place for couples to steal off too, especially those young and unmarried, and spend some precious time together at. There is a fire pit and sheltered camping spot on the shore of the hotspring that allow for overnight trips. |
