The lies the ruin of an ancient well surrounded by what appears to be three caved-in clay ovens. Its shaft was dug when the High Kings of Gore still ruled this far north and sinks down all the way into the Sunless Sea (18.10.01). Until the fall of the Verlimes (18.07), infants born during the Long Night (28.04), conceived during the Fight Night and any others that were unwanted were lowered carefully down into the well.
Certain beings that live down in the waters of the Sunless Sea have grown impatient with the lack of infant offerings.
Hooks:
- -What is the “First Night?” Is/was there a jus primae noctis or it it referring to something else?
- -What other children were send down the well?
- -This well isn’t good to drink out of, is it?
- -What things took the infants? What did they do with them? What will they do now that they have grown impatient?
- -Why were these offerings given? Why was the practice of doing so stopped?
