Crystal Springs

These springs, located astride the Stone Road, are the source of the Duntide River. The waters flow from a series of small rocky outcrops. Many springs bubble from subterranean aquifers to the surface here, in. an area of fifteen square miles or so, and where they do the rock formations tend to be brittle, almost glassy blue-veined quartz. The rock is of little use, since it is so brittle, but surprisingly it is weather resistant and has not eroded over the centuries. Such a strange geological formation has been thought to have magical origins. Certainly, a priest or wizard casting detect magic here will find intermittent and erratic dweomers of mixed kind, which vary with the phases of Celene and Luna.

Below the strange crystal formations, a network of chambers and caves are said to hold magical and monstrous secrets in their calcified chambers. Little is known of what ties therein.

There are several militia bases with 60-200 soldiers each within five miles of Crystal Springs. The Dungeon Master is encouraged to develop this locale which is deliberately presented here as a mystery.
