Water from the Caves of Kord
The water in the Caves of Kord is sacred to the Minotaurs and Tritons that call the caves home. It is used in many of their rituals, and drinking the water without permission, or stealing the water is a grievous crime. The most sacred duty of the Minotaurs and Tritons that live in the caves is to guard the waters from intruders and ensure that the flow does not get interrupted by rock slides or cave ins. The deep caves are said to contain entire lakes of the sacred water, but as it is forbidden for the tribes that dwell there to speak of their home, outsiders are not sure if that is myth, or just another piece of the many secrets maintained by the reclusive cave dwellers and their plethora of unique metals and resources.
