Kanywa Spring
Pronunciation: CAN-ee-wa
Map Index: E-3
Location: Northwest Beorlan
Geography: A half mile south of the Gaharru River stands a unique watering hole amidst the rolling grassy plains of Arvallis. The natural pond is roughly oval, with the trees near the water offering welcome shade within a seemingly endless sea of tall grass. The source of the water comes from an enchanted artesian spring that provides a year-round source of water to all who visit. The cool waters possess magical qualities that bestow on the area an aura of peace and provide soothing comfort to all that drink them. Unlike other watering holes where predators stalk those who seek water, the energy of Kanywa Spring provides a place of enchanted peace where both hunters and prey are at ease with each other. The spring sits within a small shallow depression from which flows a single narrow perennial stream, known as Kanywa Creek. Renown for never running dry, it flows northward for about one-half mile before it joins the Gaharru River.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Climate: A temperate climate prevails with cool winters and plentiful rainfall during the winter. Summers are hot and dry, punctuated by occasional thunderstorms, some of which can be quite violent.
Wildlife: The grassy plains of Arvallis are home to magnificent herds of antelopes, wildebeests, and gazelles. Sleek leopards stalk the herds. Jackals seek to surprise and catch rabbits and small rodents. During spring and fall, large flights of migratory birds pass through the grasslands on their way to their summer and winter homes. Eagles and vultures also soar the skies, looking for their next meal, as long-legged herons and egrets stalk minnows along the Gaharru River.
Humanoids: No humanoids inhabit Kanywa Spring but the Ranfaroth tribes revere the spring as sacred and visit often to drink the enchanted waters.
Monsters: No monsters currently inhabit the area of the sacred spring. The Ranfaroth patrol this area often to ensure it remains that way.
History: The existence of Kanywa Spring goes back farther than the Ranfaroth can remember. They say that it has always been here offering the world its sacred peace and tranquility.
Today: Animals, birds, and the Ranfaroth all visit the spring to drink its seemingly endless supply of cool soothing water. Even the warlike Turoch have been known to enter the Spring and drink its waters.
