A Worship Water is a body of water which has been sacred to the Froyalanish and Wintergleamish Vanafolk since times ancient beyond the memory of woman and which is used by the Vanafolk as a place of Vanic worship.
Locations
There are innumerable Worship Waters in Elwynn, which are scattered all over the aforesaid Lands of the Two Sacred Rivers, ranging in size from small ponds and wells to large lakes and even entire seas. The most important of them is, of course, the River Elwynn.
Nuumerous wells and springs are associated with a single God or Goddess and the sacred water dispensed there ensures the bestowal of life, grace, mercy, joy, health, and abundance by that particular deity.
Symbolism
To the Vanafolk Worship Waters, symbolize purification, wellness, benevolence and oneness with the Lords and Ladies Divine. Vanafolkers bathe, pray and play in those waters for nourishment for their souls, to heal their bodies, minds or spirits as well as for general health, protection and forgiveness from their sins. Due to the link between fertility and water many worship waters are known for curing barrenness.
Likewise, are Worship Waters to the Vanafolk an excellent way to joyfully and happily connect, commune, and create with their Gods and Goddesses.
Entrances to Other Worlds
Thousands of wells which are Worship Waters to practitioners of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways are considered to be entrances to the other words such as the spirit world, and to the Vanafolk is dreaming while being at such a holy well a way to foretell the future.
