Crystal Falls
This is a beautiful waterfall with clean ice cold fresh water. It is named for the fact that this part of the mountain range has numerous common crystals, so the river bed is lined with many of them. When the sun is bright, the water has an amazing colorful glow as the sunlight reflects off the crystals under the water. The waterfall feeds into the mountain lake which then leads off to a river where Shivershire was built. The lake and the river both make for some wonderful fishing of all sorts of freshwater fish.
Folk travel here to have the chance of witnessing this wonderful event as the water glows with different colors as it comes over the waterfall. Depending on the season, there tends to be slight color changes to the waterfall. In the summertime the water gets so brightly colored that it looks as if the water is glowing magically and can be seen from a far distance even.
With such a heavy abundance of crystals in the area of this waterfall, there are many that come here to hunt for crystals. Most crystals here are common and not worth very much. Sometimes rare magical crystals can be found deep in the cliff and mountains through various tunnels. Along this area can be found caves linked together by a vast network of tunnels. Visitors are warned not to enter these caves as the cave network can become a confusing maze, and some are never seen again after entering.
The herbalist in Shivershire has been known to trade for the more rare types of crystals, offering her wares, services and sometimes coin for crystals that are to her liking. Being older, she no longer travels into the tunnels to get the crystals herself and has been known to be always looking for one particular type of crystal which enhances her abilities.
In recent months there have been a few reports of people going missing near the waterfall, but no evidence of foul play was ever found. Shivershire did form a search party of volunteers that searched the area including some of the closer tunnels, but once again, nothing was ever found. One of those volunteers did report hearing strange 'clicking' noises coming from the deeper caves and tunnels.
