The Water Key
While all the elements were held in high regard by the Keepers it is water that represented something more. To them, water was a place of origin. The heavens above were viewed as an endless sea of stars. Deceased Keepers were placed on funeral barges and cast into the endless ocean. Water was tranquility, serenity, and sanctuary for the ancient masters.
Water was a symbol of one's strength of mind to the Keepers. Water gardens consisting of shallow, still, pools of pristine water with perfectly smooth stones were a common place for meditation and relaxation. The placement of the stones and the degree of the smoothness that could be sculpted into the them was seen as the highest form of art their kind could produce.
Water was in many ways a metaphor for what other races would consider willpower and the fortitude of the soul. This was especially so for the Keeper who created this key. It was believed that this being possessed a mind that was both impenetrable and unfathomable. To try and touch his thoughts was akin to driving into an ocean seeking the treasure resting below only to find there is no bottom. Only endless depths both below and above in which to lose one's self.
