JONQUIL’S POOL Artwork by Francisco Vegas
The first progress was never completed, however, thanks to the attempted assassination of Queen Alysanne at Maidenpool. Wishing to bathe in the celebrated Jonquil’s pool—said to have been where Florian the Fool first glimpsed his beloved Jonquil in the Age of Heroes—Alysanne and her women entered the bathhouse. The only ones present besides her attendants were the holy sisters who maintained the baths, but among their number were three who believed Alysanne and her incest would pollute the holy waters. After Alysanne and her women had undressed, these sisters attacked with knives.
