Conflueverant
The energy of elemental water in all its forms. It is the energy of flowing aether, of the aetherial heart, and of the living things within water. It is one of the most potent, versatile, and common forms of aether on Shem. Aspects of it include rivers, streams, creeks, and other flowing waters (
river energy); rain (
torrentia); oceans (
oceanic energy) and seas (
darian energy); lakes and ponds (
nyanja); wetlands (
parfum de marais); tidal and coastal waters; lagoons, gulfs, and bays; channels and straits; steam and tropics; the wet season (
monsoon energy); and ice and snow (
hvittdogg). Water at the deepest parts of Shem are called
the deeps, which take on a different energy. Waters around islands, coasts, and peninsulae sometimes have
ho'okuma within them. The energies of steam are called
vapor energy. Conflueverant is also the energy of elemental emotion, reflecting the flow of emotion through the world, called
kardiaroi.
