The lore in 100 words
Water is the law that reality must adapt. The narrowest Essence — only three factions wield it — and the most patient: the Arctic turn it into endurance, the Suboceanic into depth and memory, the Deep Space Coalition into navigation. Water does not win by force. It outlasts, reroutes, and arrives where stronger things cannot follow.
