D7 Ash Horn Stream

In the heart of the pebblestone roads of Verbobonc's Elven Quarter lies the Ash Horn Stream religious meeting area. The stream, which empties into Nigb's Run from the sacred Pond of the Hart, serves as a spiritual hub for elves devoted to Corellon Larethian, the Creator of the Elves. On holy days, the faithful gather here in a solemn procession, donning gold and white robes and singing in perfect harmony. They place flower petals into the stream, watching them drift away in a symbolic offering to their god.
