The Sanguine Waters

The Sanguine Water shines red with blood o the gods. Or at least so goes the myth.   "In the First Dawn, when the world was still raw and untamed, the gods walked freely through all things, sky, sea, and soul. Chief among them was the All-Father, radiant and just, who brought the first warmth to the heavens. Yet lurking in the depths of unformed void was the World Eater, a god of hunger and unraveling, who sought to consume not merely life, but the concept of existence itself.   Their clash shook the planes. Fire bled into air, stone into time, and skies fractured like brittle glass. The Laughing Rogue, god of tricks and freedom, stole the spear of eternity and used it to blind the World Eater’s third eye, giving the All-Father just enough opening to drive his radiant blade into the creature’s endless maw.   But the World Eater’s fall could not be stopped without cost. Clutched together, the All-Father and the World Eater plummeted through all the planes, shattering the Ethereal Sea, igniting the Celestial Vault, and starting the creation of the divine gate. They struck the Sanguine Waters, staining it forever with divine ichor, before finally vanishing into the Endless Abyss below the world, where the World Eater was chained in silence."   Scientist have now recognized that it is some sort of algea that colors the water, but the myth is waaaaay cooler so shut the fuck up Dr. Ichabod Juufstron.
