Aothon's Pool (Torrune)

Aothon's Pool is a public water cistern in the Serrapine Quarter of Torrune's High City, next to the Pearl Market and the Great Hall of the Magnates, and just inside the Water-Porter's Gate (which takes its name from the water carriers who gather near the pool each morning). It is supplied from a spring on the south slope of the Hart's Hill, which once fed the creek that used to flow at the bottom of the Tirasval but is now channeled to the pool via a covered stone waterway lined with clay tiles. As is typical in the city's water system, overflow from the pool runs off via a subterranean drain-channel and is directed into the nearby sewer tunnels to flush waste down to the river.
