The Nascent Springs
A grand an expansive bathhouse deep within Oldfaire. The structure is well preserved, save for the portions of its roof destroyed in the fall of the city. Despite virulent plants creeping into the springs from all angles, the waters themselves remain shockingly clear. There are horrific stories of excavators working nearby digs that drink from teh pools and return to their crew, exhibiting superhuman strength and ravenous for human flesh.
Features
Unveiled Waters: One of the pools in the springs extends out from beneath the building's roof to a vanishing edge that looks out over the city. In Oldfaire, citizens of all social classes would visit the bathhouse, but to bathe out on the terrace during the heat of the day was considered the height of luxury -- anyone who could enjoy the afternoon sun was wealthy eough to have others doing the day's labor while they relaxed.
Boiling Pools: The hottest of the pools in the springs, with channels that lead to pipes in other areas of the city. Though archeologists have not fully mapped the plumbing of Oldfaire, it's clear that these pipes lead to the palace and the homes of other wealthy members of the Oldfairen social elite. Some of these pipes and the corresponding sewers are large enough for a human, or beast, to move through.
Shattered Terrace: The second floor of the bathhouse was an extravagant terrace that runs the length of the central bathing room and leads out onto a balcony. Some think this was an area for people of importance to gather in the Nascent Springs. Though much of the bathhouse's interior is well preserved, the terrace itself has not fared as well, with large chunks of it now sunken into the waters below. Scholars speculate that the damage came from some kind of targeted explosion within the building before the fall of the city.
