Where The Water Flies is an encampment in central Brightmarch, located in the tropical grasslands south of the Ikena River but north of the Zaliyan River, built in the shadow of a very small, half-completed aerolith. The settlement itself is semi-permanently inhabited by transient tribes that use it as a shared gathering place. Many see it as a location of spiritual and ritual importance as well, not least for the unusual phenomenon exhibited by the titular water there. The aerolith pulls water emerging from the natural springs beneath into streams that rise into the sky, circling around the partially-mined asteroid before falling back to earth. What precisely keeps the aerolith aloft is unknown, as all others seemingly required the ceaseless efforts of the aerotheurges to keep flying. The people that live at Where The Water Flies refuse to fly or climb the streams to investigate, part of a general taboo against entering the ancient Eitan ruins that can be found throughout Brightmarch. The monarchs of Sharruma to the west have expressed great interest in the aerolith, but so far they have been kept at bay through the efforts of Kinahna Who Has Seen The World, a powerful air elemental who views the aerolith, if not the town, as her domain.
