Special Properties

Its proximity to a holy shrine means that there is always an aura of calmness and purity. The stream's water is considered holy, so demons cannot even come near it.

History

The original high priest of Herringnome had recalled a small spring they used to play in as a child, so seeking a quiet place to pray and meditate, they returned to a place of positive memories and constructed a shelter which over time transformed from a simple sleeping bag to a tent to a full stone structure. It is the favorite place of the current Herringnome high priestess, Koulmia Le Verger.

Tourism

The people of Herringnome come here on pilgrimages and to ask for help if its doctors cannot cure a sickness. Usually, people aren't allowed in the garden itself, but if they or someone else need healing, the priest will make sure to take care of them. Visitors can often be found sitting in a small garden chair resting or drinking medicinal tea.
