Unlike most oracles, this one wasn't hidden in some treacherous terrain, or guarded by mystical beings.
It was just a small basin near the outskirts Hill City. You approached, dropped a copper into the liquid, and as it melted, it told you the one thing you needed to hear most at that time. You only got one go in your life, but that was all you needed. Most love affairs and businesses owed their success to it.
But you can also blame a lot of failures on it to. What you needed to hear wasn't always the truth, you understand.
