Harnessing the magic of the springs proved especially challenging until a talented [[Urizen_economic_interests#Architects\|Architect]] named Camilla Sunspire proposed a unique way of harnessing the magic without damaging the magic - or risking an accidental explosion.

	Recently, a talented [[Urizen_economic_interests#Architects\|Architect]] named Camilla Sunspire proposed a unique way of harnessing the magic without damaging the magic - or risking an accidental explosion. Following her plan, an intricate arrangement of mithril-lined pipes would channel the flow of water from the largest spring into a specially constructed fountain. Designed with intricate pipes and valves, the fountain would rise to a crescendo at both dawn and dusk (rather than every four hours, twenty-seven minutes, as the natural geyser does). In addition to harnessing the magic of the pools, the mithril pipes caused an accretion of crystalline mana to form around the edges of the wide heat-resistant basin which could be harvested without risk.

In addition to harnessing the magic of the pools, the mithril pipes caused an accretion of crystalline mana to form around the edges of the wide heat-resistant basin which could be harvested without risk.

	When Senator Cato proposed in Winter 378 that a sinecure be constructed, the work of Camilla Sunspire was brought to the Civil Service's attention and the delighted architect was invited to assist with the building project which was completed shortly before the start of the Summer Solstice 379YE.

	The fountain itself is maintained by a small staff, assisted by a cadre of ushabti designed specifically to work in the dangerous heat of the hot springs. In addition to collecting the crystal mana, cleaning the fountain's workings, and performing minor calibrations to the valves based on the average rainfall, the staff ~~are~~ kept busy extracting coins, debris and other mementos thrown into the fountain by travellers who do not understand its purpose - or the danger of one of these trinkets blocking one of the main pipes...

			In the end, the Druj tore the beautiful structure apart in a matter of days and permanently damaged the magical flows that gave the hot spring its special provenance. Much of the water was drained away, and the magic leeched from the subterranean nexus by the hungry Druj magicians.

The Keeper has no particular responsibilities; they simply receive a bounty of [[Game_items#Mana_Crystals\|crystal mana]] from the Glorious Fountain of Dawn and Dusk. If the Fountain, or the hot pools from which it rises, were to be threatened in any way then it would be the responsibility of the Keeper to deal with those threats. The Keeper may also be called on to deal with any threats to the small staff who maintain the fountain; there is some risk of problems with the [[vallorn]] or [[Therunin]] to the north.

	===The Glorious Fountain of Dawn and Dusk===
	In western [[Morrow#Peregro\|Peregro]] are found a series of geysers and hot springs, beneath which lies a nexus of powerful subterranean magic. The magic occasionally bubbles to the surface through the hot springs - on occasions when this happens, the waterspouts are transformed into pure superheated steam, rich with arcane potential. Harnessing the magic of the springs has proved especially challenging.
