Snowdew Pond

Most fisherfolk can only dream of a body of water like Snowdew Pond: crystal-clear, with a surface as flat as newly cut glass, and continually stocked with fish ranging from mundane to magical. It is here that the weekly Fishing Contest of Gobru is held (the event’s host jokingly named the contest in honor of a would-be god of fish who failed the Test of the Starstone some years ago), and anglers from far and wide use their homemade bait to try and land the most lauded catch of all—a unique ruby-colored, whiskered fish called, incongruously, Crimson Duck. Snowdew Pond is not completely artificial—in the decade before it was revamped for the festival, it served as a small watering hole for the vagrants and orphans who lived in the ruins around it.
