Wuhalo Falls
Pronunciation: wu-HALO
Map Index: C-5
Location: At the headwaters of the Mithlonsir River in central Aorlan.
Background: Wuhalo Falls is regarded as one of the most powerful sacred sites to followers of Wu’lor, the Goddess of Healing. Believers claim that bathing in its holy waters will cure sickness and restore health. The healing however must be done in person as the waters quickly lose their powers when bottled and carried away from the site.
Geography: Situated at the transition from the Khirak Mountains to the lands of Ceodaria and Mithtaur, the great falls of Wuhalo flow steadily over a 380 foot drop to a deep clear pool below. The surrounding mica schist bedrock sparkles silver in the sun, as fine mist from the falls creates shimmering rainbows. Wuhalo Falls forms the headwaters of the Mithlonsir River and small shrine of Wu’lir, Goddess of Healing, sits just to the north of the falls.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Climate: Temperate and humid, with long cold winters, and warm summers. The constant mist from the falls creating a fertile microclimate with 7-foot-tall ferns covering the ground at the base of the falls.
Wildlife: Schools of small fish with iridescent scales swim in the clear waters of the pool. Red salamanders and small green snakes live in the scree at the base of the falls, while brightly colored birds nest on the cliff walls.
Humanoids: Water nymphs frequent the pool below the falls during the warm months of summer. Druids, Ceodari, Valtauri, and faeries of the Seelie Court often travel here for brief periods to receive healing by bathing in the sacred waters and performing a ritual at the sacred shrine.
Monsters: No monsters currently live here. The druids and Seelie faeries protect the area from threatening creatures.
History: The falls weathered the Great Cataclysm without any negative effects.
Today: The site, revered as sacred, is known only by a few.
