 **Hunor the Waterlifter** is one of the [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:#the_children|Children]], and the patron deity of a rather specialized profession.
-In the forests of the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:cerulean_tangle]], the original heartland of the [[mythology:imperial_religion:]], water is plentiful; where the land is flat, it can be easily diverted from rivers through ditches, and where it is steep, it can be captured from rain, which is plentiful, or rain-fed streams. In the deserts of the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:brightness]], however, matters are more complicated. Settlements near a river on flat land may still divert water through ditches, but not as far before it evaporates; and where the topography is even slightly uncooperative, simple ditches will not do, and rain cannot be relied upon. For this reason, [[takma:]] settlement in the Brightness is sparse and highly concentrated around rivers; but there are always newcomers seeking room, and the best land has already been taken.

 Therefore the occupation of waterlifter is an important one for those not living directly on the river. For rests at a stretch, these folk stride on treadmills in the heat of the desert sun and in the chill of the desert night, powering the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw|screwpumps]] that move water up and away from its natural courses. Their work is physically demanding, spiritually draining, and mentally unstimulating, and it is Hunor they turn to to get them through their turns on the treadmills. He has become an important god in the last twenty cycles or so, in keeping with the fortunes of His flock; for as more settlers set up in the desert, more waterlifters are needed to supply them. The members of the group have therefore become not only numerous, but aware of their own effect on society; simply by ceasing to work, they can hold entire villages hostage.
