Sairme's Thermal Waters

They found a strange patch of earth that never seemed to be covered in snow, and where rain evaporated off it in a matter of seconds. This 'magical ground' was later found to be the source of hot mineral water, which has been used to treat a number of diseases, including kidney, gallbladder, and digestive ailments.
