Well of Wishes

It was said that the world was born from a wish, and a Well of Wishes is hidden at the estuary of the river. It flows back in time, to the moment when the world was born, allowing anyone who reaches there to have their wish come true.^[1]

There was a brave girl who was separated from her mother by the currents but found a magic ship that allowed her to sail the River like an Outsider. By the time the Riverborn girl found her Outsider mother, the mother had grown weak and frail from old age. Knowing that time would separate them again soon, the girl sailed for the Estuary where she found the Well of Wishes. The girl's wish was to be with her mom, and so, the Well made her mother Riverborn as well. She returned upstream on her magic ship, and they lived together happily, forever.^[1]

• The magical Well of Wishes did not exist, and neither did the remnant of the primal desire from which the gods had been born exist in the Estuary. Cassie told Sunny that not everyone's wish would be fulfilled, but his wish would through some unknown process.^[2]
