Carousel

Carousels were a type of amusement ride found in the Realms. They were typically constructed by the various artificers, smiths, and tinkerers of the Church of Gond.

History
Around 1375 DR, Mistress Norali had created an approximation of a carousel in the Undermountain community of Spiderhaven. But unlike the carousels of the Gondsmen, which were mechanical in nature, hers utilized relatively benign undead animals.

In the late 14 century DR, Father Otis Gregor of the temple Turning Wheel in Ravens Bluff, believed that his clergy needed to take a more visible role in their community. To that end he had his clergy construct and maintain children's playgrounds in the parks of Ravens Bluff, which featured carousels.
