The Celebrant's Horn

The Celebrant of Fortune, the satyr goddess of milestones, luck, and love, always carried with her an enormous drinking horn that would overflow with the finest mead at her command, and she would literally bring the party with her wherever she went. After the Celebrant died in the Serpentine War, her followers decided to create a sculpture of her in one of her favorite parks, and the statue raises the genuine horn to the sky.   Shortly thereafter, they coated the sculpture in a waterproof sealant and added a basin at her feet, because they found that the horn will still spew vast amounts of mead at random intervals, causing an impromptu celebration to break out.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

No one knows for sure how the horn works, but many speculate that it either synthesizes mead out of nothing, or that it somehow draws it from some sort of mead dimension? Either way, this is extremely powerful, physics-bending magic that no Z'hratian is capable of. Scientists speculate that the spouts of mead are a reaction to a surge of magic in nearby leylines.

History

The only previous owner was the Celebrant of Fortune, who claimed to have brought it from one of her previous worlds that had been long since destroyed. The horn itself seems to support this theory: firstly, no animal with a horn that large exists on Z'hrat, and secondly, no Z'hratian has figured out how to use magic to synthesize something out of nothing.   After the death of the goddess, it was set into a statue in a First District park, where it became the fountain that it is today.

Significance

  • It belonged to a goddess, so it holds religious significance to her followers. Some people make offerings to her at the foot of the fountain, and it's considered a lucky site.
  • Because it randomly spouts vast quantities of mead, impromptu celebrations will still break out around it. 
  • Gamblers will make bets as to the date and time of the next "mead day."
  • Local New Z'hratians can typically recognize the traffic congestion that comes from a "mead day."
  • It's a prominent tourist location.
  • Some mages are studying it to figure out how it works, which is difficult due to it's uniqueness, unpredictability and the fact that it's very stuck in the middle of a park.
  • The park is one of the more popular spots to travel to during High Summer and on Celebrant's Day.
