Curving toward the north and east, the hard soil-strewn path makes its way by a clear, crystalline blue pond. The surface waters are mostly still, but occasionally you notice a little movement just below the surface, and you can make out some silvery fish swimming. Water herbs grow along the edge of the pond. Along the path, the grass is green and healthy, except at the western edge of the path, where a hole, measuring about two human foot-lengths in diameter and lined with dark stone, rises like a well. But this is no water well. From the depths, smoke rises, carrying with it interesting scents of burning wood, cooking pastries, and roasting meat. Beyond this smoke well is an herb garden. The path branches to the south through the garden on one side and unhindered woodland on the other.
