Where fire destroys, ravages and wipes away traces of history, it also invigorates life. It rejuvenates, washes away the freezing cold, and heats the meals that nourish us.

Yet, while fire enhances life—water, is life.

As a river runs endlessly through the mountains, valleys and forests, so does the spirit of the water elementals of Allovan. None other know the strength that lies under the vast, crashing waves.

It is said the great water spirit Dydrus once spoke to man, saying, ‘he who knoweth and speaks with the streams and seas, knows the great wilderness beyond the stars, and with that knowledge, one dwells inward to peace, to calm, to pure and utter perfection.’

-Written by the Prophet Dantris Oireillus. 676 of the Ember Age.
