Horse Pond

Horse Pond was a pond in Amphail on the Sword Coast.

Description
It was a muddy pond containing frogs and water lilies, and it was used for drinking and washing water for horses.

History
In the mid–14th century DR, there was an incident in which skeletons ventured out of the pond and ran amok through the village, strangling people before they were destroyed.

Rumors & Legends
There was a legend that at the bottom of the pond there was a hidden entrance to the tomb of the Maiden King, who ruled the area a long time before the 14th century DR. According to legend, she lay sleeping forever on a stone bed with her magic two-handed sword resting on her chest.

Some adventurers entered the pond on several occasions and found nothing, but one band at least never returned.
