Crystal Spring

Serving as the source of the Atheris River, Crystal Spring is the most sacred of the druids' springs, used as the final pilgrimage stop for those druids. Like Silver Pool, the waters within Crystal Spring lost most of their visually apparent magic when the ritual to save some of the Immer Valley Forest was performed.

Of the three springs, Crystal Spring was the most sacred and most powerful. Its waters used to be able to cure nearly any ailment, and when used in divination and water based magic, the effects were amplified many times over. Kept secret for fear of misuse, the Crystal Spring's exact location has been completely lost to time, even to the Druids of Immer Grove.

The spring gets its name from the spring's bottom, which is covered from shore to shore in magical crystals. Each is powerful, but can only remain whole if removed with a special ritual which the druids taught to no one. Each crystal, when removed any other way, would crumble to dust within a matter of days, though its magical power would be released much more quickly.

At its center is a monolithic crystal, from which the others seem to grow, whose color changes based on many factors. The season, time of day, and intense weather have all been known to alter the shade or saturation of the crystal. Certain effects, such as a lunar or solar eclipse, have been known to cause it to change colors rapidly and wildly. During the solstice and equinox, the crystal is particularly vibrant.
