Waters of the River and Loch of Nishlath Ban

The wasteland of Ziln only has a small area that can sustain life in Nishlath Ban. A single remaining river from the Nantoo Protector Range flows into the lone lake called the Loch of Nishlath Ban. These waters are the most precious resource for the Mnorh.

Only the Khuzgish dared bathe in water. But the river's flow has decreased over the centuries since they left. So the remaining Mnorh, the Tilgish, use sun bleached sand to bathe in.

History & Usage

Everyday use

Survival. One partakes of the holy water to live another day.

Reusability & Recycling

Tilgish collect and sterilized water from all possible sources. Then they run it through a sand sieve to take out any impurities, and place it under glass in the unrelenting to make it drinkable again.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Water may not be sold. Though, it may be bartered. Everyone gathers a ration of a little more than they need to survive each day.
This most sacred liquid is given as a gift from the community at weddings and births.

Storage

Glazed clay pots with sealed stoppers.

Law & Regulation

Wasting water is considered a sin and punishable by denial of the life-giving substance for three days. If the offender survives, the community nurses them back to health. If not, the body is drug to the base of the Trantoo Single Peak Range for the few wild creatures, such as the Stinging Centipede, to feast on.
