Tell's Corner is on the edge of
The Thousand Lakes, and the last trading post before a hundred miles of empty marsh. Many a trader stops at Tell's Corner to visit the bar on the water's edge only to leave a little lighter, having fallen prey to the thieves and smugglers that haunt the shallow waters to the south.
The great Tell once roamed the river, terrorising any vessel that dared disturb their rest. Many a boat capsized after the giant pike rammed them, intent on feasting on whatever food there was on board, but all were allowed to swim to shore unharmed. Many tried to capture Tell but were soon disappointed, for Tell was a Small God and the river its kingdom.
The waters of
The River Oswine are rich in ether, carried down from the
Intraana Mountain Range. Only a few animals can consume ether to any meaningful extent but Tell was one of them. No one knows how old they are just that they've been there forever.
Keen eyes have spotted Tell as far up as
Fishholme and all the way to the mouth of the Oswine at
Sentinel, but their favourite spot is the north side of the abbey, where the reeds grow thick and the water shallow.
