It is said that he lived there for many years while his enemies hunted him. His only companions were his seven daughters.Without his kingdom, he wasted away in the cave that was now his home. His daughters took care of him and tried to sustain his health. Many times a day they would go down the rocky hillside to fetch water from a large stone well, which was left behind by some unknown people. Eventually Atralis died, still wishing he was king. The stories say that his daughters never left the cave, but continued living there, bringing water to the body of their beloved father. Supposedly their tremendous grief eventually turned them to stone.There is no trace of the king’s remains, but there is a cave in the foothills and at the bottom of the hill is a well surrounded by seven pillars of stone. This place is known to the locals as The Well of the Seven Sisters. They say it is a haunted place and that sadness falls over anyone who visits until they leave. Many people are dared to drink the water or spend the night beside the well or in the cave, no one does. Female voices, melancholy ones, are sometimes heard talking amongst themselves at the well’s edge. It is said that if you take a bucket of water from the well up to the cave and call, “Father!” that the king will answer back; moaning about his lost lands.Most or all of this is probably superstition and rumor. What is fact is that there are ruts worn in the ground around the well where the stone pillars have moved back and forth. No one is ever seen disturbing them and they could not be moved without the aid of pulleys and beasts of burden, but no hoof marks are ever found either. Still, the stones are moving somehow. The rut that leads up the side of the hill into the cave would be harder still to explain.Next: Hunters' Moon Hollow</blockquote>
