- Nexus Name: The Spring of Gith
- Nexus Alignment: Neutral
- Location: Iridonia, Hidden in a narrow canyon cleft within the basalt ridges north of the capital city of Malidris.
- Affiliation: N/A
- Size: Small
- Strength: Strong
- Accessibility: The Spring of Gith lies at the terminus of a winding fissure nearly impossible to detect without local knowledge. The approach involves navigating sharp ridges and sudden drops, many of which are scoured by constant wind. Even when one knows the path, progress is slow, requiring climbing and careful balance. The brightside is that it is naturally protected and fortified. For millennia, rockslides and shifting canyon walls concealed the entryway entirely, erasing it from maps and memory until rediscovered via canyon cavern walls that had crumbled over time.
- Description: An oasis-like grotto, where clear water seeps from a fractured cliff face into a shallow pool ringed by hardy vegetation. The air is slightly cooler than the surrounding canyon caverns, carrying a sense of revitalization and resolve. Luminous moss clings to the walls, casting soft light across the water at night. Predators avoid the site, leaving it unusually still for Iridonia. Even during its absence from history, this resonance persisted faintly, sensed in dreams or echoed in tales of a hidden refuge.
The nexus strengthens connections to offer both physical and spiritual reprieve. Visitors often find that fatigue lifts more quickly and minor injuries heal with surprising speed when resting near the spring. While not miraculous, the effect is noticeable enough that generations of Iridonians have revered it as a gift of endurance from the planet itself.
The Force within the spring manifests as clarity moreso than not. Many who meditate here describe an unraveling of confusion, as though the nexus clears the debris of constant struggle and allows one to see truth with unclouded perception. It nurtures reflection, giving individuals strength to return to their battles with renewed conviction.
However, in true Iridonian fashion, it also has the potential to test the resolve of those who enter close to the heart. It manifests an illusory quality within its caverns. Force sensitives often encounter visions of ancestral warriors, memories of past conflicts, or manifestations of their own inner turmoil projected into physical semblance. These phantasms do not attack directly (usually), yet they can trigger psychological strain, forcing individuals to confront different aspects of their struggle

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
TBD
[ Include a description on the location's history here. Force Nexi don't just appear on their own. They are typically the result of events in the localized area. Please explain the nature of the origins and history of the creation of this nexus. Has it affected the course of history in the area around it if people live near? If so, how? For older locations you may wish to include historical events such as the Gulag Plague, the 400 years of darkness, and the Netherworld event where appropriate. ]
