Hundreds of years ago when a man and a woman both bred from the elves and
human sorcerers of the night met, the two formed an instant bond joined by
love, neutrality and similar kinship. Together they knew of the heartaches of
the world all too well and sought out barren ground to raise their young away
from such cruelty. They found the caverns along the northern mountains and
with exploration the purest pool of water. The ancient pool was so pure it
glowed with a magic that could only be divine. It was at this time that the
two began to worship this relic. When the couple exhaled their last breath,
their souls went to the pool to merge with its energy. Many others of the
half elven race have joined in with the tribe to find their own peace, and to
this day the souls of the Altrisupendai people go to join with the energy of
the pool.

Over time the pool became known as the Pool of the World and it was the
capstone of the religion of the Altrisupendai people. Their faith evolved to
allow only those who are freshly born to view it as well as the virgin
priestesses who tend to the water. The priestesses are the highest order of
the tribe, and only they are trained to read the pool and harvest its
energies.
