Alakiln at ka Boka

Category:Locations
Alakiln at ka Boka ("Cistern of the Circle" translated roughly from strix) is a strange, mystical pool tucked deep within a secret cave, hidden somewhere in the mountains northeast of Mithalleana. It is the focal point of an ancient strix legend which states that all deceased souls go to the cistern before moving on to the afterlife, as this is the same place where the Irit fell and became the strix.
There are a great deal of questions regarding the truth of these tales. Those rare few who have visited the cistern sometimes get what they want, but more often fall into the waters and disappear, never to be seen again. Tower elven researchers suspect that Alakiln is the conduit of a continuous wish spell, the magic of which is unstable and unpredictable—though this has not been proven. Members of the Tower have expressed a desire to conduct further research on the cistern, but the strix remain adamant that the pool is a holy place, and thus, its exact location is a well-kept secret.
In 300 TC, Kulka Bloodwing dove into the cistern and successfully snatched Kozzi Oldstone back from death.
