Namak Springs
Legend says that Laviku, God of the Sea, touched the land along the coast of Cyphrus, digging his fingers into the earth in order to create a safe place for Caiyha to raise the young creatures of the Sea. No matter the season, the deep rock pools remain a consistent temperature, warm enough to keep the snow from icing them over during the winter, but not so hot that they are unpleasant to take a swim in; in fact, the deeper you dive the cooler the pools feel, making them the perfect home for all sorts of animals.
By day, during the colder seasons, one might see a faint mist rising up from the pools, and by night, they glow; reflecting the night’s starry sky or the vibrant greens and blues of the ocean. Some say the pools have healing properties, though sitting in them for too long will cause the skin to dry out and even dehydrate a human as the warm salt water can be very corrosive.
Fishing in the pools is frowned upon by the Drykas people who prefer to fish the lakes or surf-cast off the rocks when the waves are calm. Many Sea lions raise their young here and in the winter provide a good source of meat, with their furs tanned and their blubber used for oils that help fortify the longevity of the tribesman's tents. In the spring, however, the Namak Springs are a very dangerous place to be, with all sort of wildlife choosing to raise their young here, or fighting, sometimes to the death, over mates and territory.
