To humans, water (H₂O) is known to be one of the most essential molecules for life as we know it. In the Elvin world, it is considered to be an element, as a part of the 6 elements classification system.

Personality

All the elements have somewhat of a personality, as said by Lady Zillah in Flashback. She also mentions that water "roars," while the other elements may "dream" or "pulse."

Linh, a main character in the series who is also a hydrokinetic (meaning that she can control water), states that, "Water begs for [her] attention, but too often it's a trick". She says that sometimes she can not fully control the element of water, so in order to prevent that as much as possible, she looks for "fixed points" i.e. "tiny drops of steady among the chaos." It gives her "something to focus on" and helps her "keep a tighter hold." However, she also added that the more water there is, the more it slips beyond her control.

Associated abilities

Hydrokinesis is the ability that is generally associated with water. However, it is important to note that cryokinesis, whose manifesters are more commonly known as Frosters, can also be considered an ability related to water. This is because ice and snow (the predominant associations with cryokinesis) are both forms of solid water.

Known controllers of water (Hydrokinetics and Cryokinetics)

• Linh Song

A girl who, at first, cannot control water very well when she is near the ocean; she flooded Atlantis and was banished.

• Juline Dizznee (Squall)

Having chosen to use her talent for the greater good, Juline Dizznee, aka Squall is a member of the Black Swan's collective.

Bottle of Youth

Youth, generally kept in a bottle of youth, is the elves' version of drinking water. Humans generally get their drinking water from purified sources, with some extra fluorine (and other minor substances) in it. Elves also have a purified version of drinking water, but instead of fluorine, there are other vitals and vitamins in the water, which makes Sophie describe the mixture as "cold and slightly sweet, and somehow more refreshing."

Locations where water is prominent/present in large amounts in the Lost Cities

Rivers

• Alenon River

This river is behind the Dizzne household of Rimeshire. It's a prime spot for kelpies.

• Eventide River

This river divides the ogre city of Ravagog in two parts.

• Spateswale

This river is the most direct path to Ravagog, and once housed Riverdrift. It is noted to be home to pannoniasauruses.

Residences

• Everglen

There is a lake on the property of Everglen; one so beautiful that it enraptured the Vackers for generations to come.

• Rimeshire (in the form of ice and snow)

Being the home of Juline Dizznee, it is only expected that the area be surrounded by solid water formations.

• Shores of Solace (it's a beach house)

Lord Cassius's getaway home is none other than a beach house; right next to the ocean.

• Choralmere (it's a beach house)

It was mentioned that Linh's hydrokinesis ability and the location of her former residence clashed a lot in the past.
