Ancient Well

The Ancient Well is an old well near Castle Daventry. It was once located just east of the Goat Pen, and north of the serene mountain lake.

Background
It is one of the most ancient sites in the entire kingdom of daventry, and has been there a very long time. History and mystery seem to echo from its very stone. Once, the well was deep and dark, but individuals could see the sky's reflection on the water. A crank was once used to raise and lower a bucket, that once hanged above the well from a rope. The rope was wound around the crank, hanging above the well. The weathered old bucket served the kingdom for years and years, holding water as well as it did on the day it was made. Several unremarkable plants had rooted themselves at the base of the old stone well, and a healthy tangle of vines was coiled around the well, and beautiful shade trees and large, leafy vegetation abounded around the well. One side of the well was crumbling to pieces.

Over the ages people have dropped junk into the well, including an old chest, an old can, a glass bottle. The chest had been buried at the bottom of the well for a very long time. Plants and weeds grow from the sand and gravel at the bottom of the well. The inside of the well was damp and covered in algae and lichen.

Behind the scenes
