Storyteller Fountain

The Storyteller Fountain is a wishing fountain that lies within Akhati Park in front of the Gardens Amphitheatre. The statue is made of marble and is known to have been in Akhati Park since at least the year 1700 BA, though its exact origins are unknown. Aspiring artists and performers will drop coins into the fountain as a way of gaining good luck from the Storyteller. It is tradition for anyone performing in the Amphitheatre to toss a coin in the fountain before a performance.

The Storyteller is the common name for Elaedriel, the elven deity of stories, songs, tricks, luck, and travel, among other things. While many elven depictions of the deity cast the deity in a feminine light, stories about the Storyteller vary wildly in descriptions of the god. As a notorious shapeshifter, the Storyteller Fountain depicts a vaguely humanoid individual with no face under a hood and a travelling cloak. People adorn the marble statue with bright silks and garments that change regularly and give the statue some serious color. The fountain is usually filled with copper and occasionally silver pieces, which few dare to steal. It is said that to steal from the fountain is to invite bad luck wherever you go.
