			'''Waters of Wisdom'''
			::These waters are located in the Apion Duchy. It is a sacred pool of water used by the Orders, particularly shaman and leaders, to connect with their warrior ancestors, receive prophecies and guidance through dreams and visions, where leaders receive their nine lives and shaman receive guidance for their Order. Sphynx travel to the Waters, usually at night during a full moon, to touch their nose to the water or drink from it. This allows them to enter a dream-like state and connect with their ancestors.
