Location Makutsi Springs

[Capricious]

Makutsi Springs On the base floor in Taldera, within a short walk from the Spires, a natural spring can be found. The foliage is thick and the air thicker. A slippery bank surrounds the icy spring, coaxing unfortunate victims to take an accidental swim. Only those who know the signs can tell where the path lies. The path may be found by looking directly across the spring and finding the red berry bush; the trail is hidden behind the plant. Anyone unfamiliar with the location should always follow the saying to reach their destination. The saying goes, "Past the moss of a different direction, skirt the edge, dance on uneven ground and feel the kiss of Makutsi". An individual must discover on their own the meaning of the saying. The Makutsi Springs themselves are a steaming trio. Each pool leads into the next, separated only by a short wall of rocks. Each pool has a tiny island in the middle, surrounded by holes smaller than a Jamoura fist. Here, anything dropped into the mysterious holes disappears. In one spring, the island only has one cavity. This is the one that has the ability to send messages to Avanthal with a timeframe of three days. Thick foliage, natural to southern Taldera, surrounds the Makutsi Springs. Visitors to the springs have claimed tiny frogs live in the hazy water. A strange moss grows in the water, against the sides of the pools. It causes the springs to glow a crystal blue. This causes visitors to relax and gives off an intriguing smell of lavender and chamomile. The destinations of the holes have not been identified beside the one to Avanthal. Only a member of the memory has the ability to send a message. Anyone found breaking this unspoken law risks punishment.   Shiroa Name: Shiroa Race: Jamoura DoB: 212 AV PoB: The Spires Title: Keeper of the Makutsi Springs Skills: •Stealth 65 •Wilderness Survival 56 •Husbandry (Children) 34 Shiroa oversees the Makutsi Springs and takes her job very seriously.
