The Fountain was the titular object of the fairy tale, The Fountain of Fair Fortune. It rested in the middle of an enchanted garden which possessed numerous obstacles. On sunrise of the longest day of the year, one person was allowed a chance to bathe in it, provided they could overcome the obstacles and reach the fountain before sunset. Bathing in the Fountain's waters was reputed to grant the bather "Fair Fortune forevermore", but in truth, the Fountain carried no enchantment at all.
