Wintering Wells

The waters of Seven Mile Bottom are behaving strangely—well water pulls harder than it should, resisting the bucket, and steam lingers long past dawn. Old records even speak of rivers freezing in summer. Some blame celestial forces; others seek a simpler truth. You, traveler, have been chosen to uncover the answer. Seek those who understand the nature of matter and reveal what lies behind these wintering wells.
