These wells were for the commoners, the nobility, and the animals. Peasants were only permitted to use the animal's well. During the year -243 P.C, there was a huge push in the equality in the district, and to mark the equal rights that were earn't, the three wells were converted into one aqueduct. By this point the third well was rendered obsolete anyway, as agriculture had moved outside the city's walls to what would become the main body of the city. The circular aqueduct was built around a large oak tree, and over time, as the place ended up becoming just one district in what would become the grand city Arcanis, the district was named Broadoak-Wells.
