| Cresting Vats |
In the Second Epoch, the
High Wood Quake devastated an area of northern
Voternil. This resulted in the desertification of a slither of the
Taurquion forest and the creation of the wasteland
Baranarth. In 1562, priestesses of the god
Sehanine, traveled to the Elemental plane
Cresting Spires and brought back three clusters of Cresting Vats. They were able to do this because of a deal struck between Sehanine and
Poseidon. This deal stipulated that water would flow from the Cresting Spires to wherever the Cresting Vats were put on
Bal-Kriav. One of the points of this contract also said that from time to time water elementals would come through the vats and that no measures should be taken to restrict their occasional use of these inter-planar gateways.
On Bal-Kriav, Sehanine's priestesses placed clusters of Cresting Vats in and about the wasteland Baranarth. There goal is obvious, to rejuvenate the wasteland and perhaps in a thousand years return it to the verdant forest like it was before the High Wood Quake.
Cresting Vats are primordial devices built in the
Dawn War as a means of getting troops and elemental water to other planes and worlds. They come in pairs with one permanently fixed on the plane Cresting Spires and the other somewhere else. On Bal-Kriav, the three clusters of them in the High Wood Country are collectively called the
Springs of Sehanine.
