The waterskin began its journey as a humble item belonging to a common trader. This trader traversed the tumultuous lands of Coia during the chaotic aftermath of the Shadow War. In a desperate bid to escape the monstrous entities unleashed by the war, the trader lost the waterskin near the Bukhara Spires. This moment marked a significant turning point, as the waterskin absorbed the wild magic swirling in the environment, transforming it into something far more powerful than its original design.
Years later, the waterskin became a relic of adventure when a wandering bugbear named Dig the Weird discovered it in the Cocker Mountains. Despite his instinctive recognition of its insidious nature, Dig found that the waterskin served as an unexpected ally during his time in captivity. Using its magical properties, he managed to escape from perilous situations, growing increasingly reliant on this seemingly cursed item that had become integral to his survival.
As tales of the waterskin's potent powers spread, it garnered notoriety among various factions throughout the region. The Entropics, in particular, became intrigued by the rumors surrounding the waterskin, drawn by the allure of wild magic that seemed to emerge from its depths. What began as an ordinary trader's possession has now grown into a legendary artifact, weaving itself deeper into the tapestry of Coia's mystical and tumultuous history.
