It is a closely guarded secret that Mount Tildept is truly hollow. Inside lie many winding caverns, home to a wide variety of valuable herbs and rare cave-fish. More closely guarded even than the herbs and fish is the secret of the Wellspring Chamber’s location. Few know for sure that it exists; fewer still are permitted to enter and see for themselves the sacred opalescent waters that grant Aquilla her Valkyrie powers.

The chamber itself is wide, with a low ceiling and mottled moss crisscrossing its walls. At the perfect time of night, the moon’s light reaches through an obscure hole in the ceiling and alights upon the still water, casting the cave in shimmering golden light. Despite its glory, this is still only a minor spring. It lacks the fifteen surrounding chambers and the full awesome power of Aquilla’s true Wellspring. But as the visions set in on those foolish enough to allow its water to touch their skin, there can be no doubt that underground passages must connect this pool to the true spring and the stone of the mountain dilutes the magic water by only a slim margin.
