Wilderspool — True Well (Qui non dat quod habet)

Inscription

Qui non dat quod habet, Dæmon infra vide

(As interpreted at the table: roughly “He who does not give what he has, the devil below sees.”)

Notes

An ancient well near one of Wilderspool’s towers, identified as the “true well” tied to Ælflaed’s intended sacrifice.

In Session 19, the conroi offered sacrifices including Ælflaed’s preserved body, coin, prayers, and Liam’s druidic spear. No splash was heard and the well gave no immediate response — but soon after, a false Ælflaed appeared in York (a revenant/demonic impostor).

Timeline

• (486) — The conroi makes offerings; the well remains eerily silent. (Source: Session 019 - The Well of Bargains and the Demon Princess)
