# Water:

* Temple
* Dish
* Tattoo

### Arcane

The Water arcane is the common arcane for the Oceaniums. The patron goddess is Aquadia. The tattoo is an upside-down triangle. Those who possess this power have water manipulating powers and an innate attachment to it. These people are usually level-headed, calm, and controlled while other times can be raging and relentless.

### Diet:

Most people eat fish that vary from Oret (Salmon in Pervenium), Laks (Cod), Avaroi (Anchovies, a rare delicacy), Flyndre (Flounder), Tructa (Trout), , Abbor (Bass). Some people take an oath of *Ei Lihaa* or "No Meat" this means that they can only eat sea vegetation, fruit, and corals The different types of sea vegetation are Salate (Sea Lettuce), Kelo (Kelp), and Tugress (Seagrass/Seaweed). The different types of fruit are Lidenfrukt (Passion Fruit), Jackfrukt (Jackfruit), Dragefrukt (Dragonfruit), Litchi (Lychee). There are many corals that the Pervenium can eat but these secrets are guarded very well by the few chefs that can make them.

### History:

The two races were widely segregated and still are, the Perven were the settlers while the Oceaniums were the natives. When the Perven came, they conquered the Oceaniums, abused their gift with Aquadia, and treated them like slaves. Soon the Perven wanted the power for themselves but when they stepped forth to Aquadia she smote them instead of gifting the power. She then blessed the Oceaniums with great power strong enough to overthrow the Perven, which started the Peruvian Ocean War in 1889. The Oceaniums won in 1920 but instead of destroying the Perven the high priest agreed so they live in harmony, the Perven would serve as warriors and battle strategists as Aquadia respected their level-headedness and Oceaniums would rule over the magic, peace, and overall higher power. And if the Perven tried to disobey this agreement they would be destroyed. Together the two cultures were known as the Pervenium but most people still call them by their separated names.

### Aquadia Temple:

This temple is under the water, made out of prismarine and sapphire with a castle-like structure. Inside is completely drained of water and in the center is a pair of steps leading to the statue of Aquadia wearing a crown of sapphires and holding a lotus in her hand, the patron flower of the Oceanium. The walls itself are painted with lotus and pearls on quartz walls.

### Choosing:

Every 10 years the *Heims Aestus* festival happens, this festival celebrates Aquadia's birth and the changing current, during this season half of the crop is offered to the goddess.

Aquadia values the level-headed, all children born on December 1st (First Winter). The most level-headed one would be chosen and would have a lotus tattooed on the nape of their neck as well as the water rune tattooed on their throat. Once chosen while the rest sink to slumber through the winter the chosen rises to defend his/her capital at night when they rest they train with Aquadia and wake up to fight again. At the end of the winter (March 1st) the champion is risen and worshiped with celebration and blessing before having the opportunity to rest.
