18. The High Basin

IF LYN MIRA, WOODWORKER IS IN PLAY GO TO 18.1

OTHERWISE, READ:

High above the forest below, the basin gleams in the sunlight. Smaller than White Sky Lake, the water in this mountain tarn is much deeper— the clear, cold water darkening to deep blue in the center. The elders say that nobody has ever reached those depths, and looking at it for yourself, you can well believe it. You wonder if there are submerged caves in the depths, and if any of the High Basin’s water drains into even deeper subterranean passages.
