Saint Osla,[1]:361 also known as the Saint of Sancre Tor,[2] was a Second Era healer. She was present at the Sack of Sancre Tor,[1]:361 an early battle during the Tiber War that took place in 2E 852 at the city of Sancre Tor.[3] She would later be canonized as an Imperial saint by the Church.[2][1]:361
In the Third Era, a statue titled "The Touch of the Healer's Hand" was erected in the town of Chorrol, just inside the main gate.[1]:361 Known locally as "the fountain",[4] this statue depicts Saint Osla ministering to the fallen at the Sack of Sancre Tor.[1]:361 It was erected in memory of all who died in that great battle. The district near the town's main gate came to be known as Fountain Gate following its construction. At some point, the statue seemingly was indeed a fountain and was surrounded by a pool, but by 3E 433 it had dried up.[2][5]
