Location The Wishing Bridge

[Phoenix]

Located outside of the city of Lhavit is a stone bridge that spans a simple silver stream that has cut its way into the stone mountainside. At low tide, the stream is almost dry, broken into stepping stones of puddles that gleam with a multitude of colored stones mixed into the gravels beneath the bridge. The bridge itself is a shrine to no deity whatsoever, but that does not stop Lhavitians from coming here alone or in pairs to make wishes for their future.

The Wishing Bridge is located near the beginning of the Trail of Waterfalls, the path that winds around the peaks of Lhavit, encircling the city in a pathway that people often walk to get themselves out of the city and into nature in a safe and controlled way.

While not exactly affiliated with Semele or any other God or Goddess, The Wishing Bridge is a place where Lhavitans take big, smooth pebbles and carefully ink their wishes on them in white - the traditional color of the stars. Then, once they are dry, they toss the stones over the edge of the bridge, making their wish as their stone falls. As a result the bottom of of the stream at low tide is littered with stones all spelling out the hopes and dreams of the generations of Lhavitians that have used The Wishing Bridge.

Since The Wishing Bridge is such a Lhavitian tradition, volunteers have built a small wooden table on one end of the bridge that opens up. Within, one can find white ink, an assortment of brushes, and a basket of river stones ready and waiting for any soul wanting to make a wish.
