Unbeknown to the people of Rynmere,
The White Well is actually a fracture burrowed deep within the earth created by one of the original Immortals during the great shattering. A powerful white cloud of fog rises up out of the White Well and settles over the region of Burhan during every season except the forty trials (days) of Saun. The fog doesn’t reach the village and the locals know how to avoid coming into contact with it, growing a special wall of trees that contains and herds the fog away from civilisation until the trial (day) gets hot enough to evaporate it. The reason people fear this white mist is the effect it has on individuals, subjecting them to sensory deprivation akin to ‘White Torture’ where one can see and hear nothing until they begin to hallucinate, with their own minds making up things that aren’t there.
