The Wishing Pond



  • On the outskirts of Fiesha lies a sacred pond, deep enough to stand in, yet large enough to contain swarms of goldfish and koi. The water is always as still as glass, not even falling leaves dare break its pristine slumber. Located in the middle of this pond lies a mysterious statue. Lifesize and forever still, it hums with a gentle aura, almost pulling you in. It is covered in a thin layer of moss and grime, and one of the arms have broken with age. There is a hollow in her chest, in the center is a small indentation as if something is missing...

    The locals have dubbed the statue the Stone Maiden. Many travel to this sacred place to place offerings for good health, wealth, fertility, love, anything that one could wish for. To offer a gift one must craft a specialized bowl from the leaves of the surrounding trees and place a coin in it's center. If the leaf sinks and drops its coin your offering has been accepted.
