Winespring Water

The Winespring Water is a large stream that originates in the village of Emond's Field.
==Geography==
The stream is fed by an underground aquifer which is, in turn, a product of drainage from the Mountains of Mist. The headwater, called the Winespring, is located near the west end of the village Green and gushes forth with enough force to knock down a grown man. From the Green, the stream passes beneath two low railed footbridges, the Wagon Bridge, and then flows adjacent to the Winespring Inn. From there it widens rapidly and willow trees begin to dot its banks as it continues east past the mill owned by Jon Thane. After several more miles it splits into dozens of flows in the Waterwood before draining into The Mire.
==History==
Legend holds that the origin of the Winespring Water occurred when the Winespring burst forth upon the site where the Band of the Red Hand perished while defending king Aemon al Caar al Thorin of Manetheren from an army of Shadowspawn. Upon feeling her husband die via the Bond they shared, Queen Eldrene unleashed tremendous forces wrought with the One Power upon the invaders. As a consequence, geologic shifts occurred at the Field where Aemon fell, releasing the underground aquifer and birthing the Winespring. Since that day, the Winespring Water has flowed continuously, slowly carving its creekbed eastward through Emond's Field as it flows towards the Waterwood.
