While the Order often lauds water for its tranquility, gentleness, birthing of life, and enriching nature, it can also symbolize instability. Ragunna faces constant threats from tides and floods. Everything in Ragunna arises from the sea, yet everything ultimately returns to it.
Surrounded by the sea, the people of Ragunna live in harmony with the water. Whether driven by love or fear, the Ragunnesi hold a deep reverence for it. In a sense, this also reflects their anxiety and fear of the Final Tide, as foretold by the Sentinel.
They hold various rituals to pray to the Sentinel, hoping that the Sentinel will guide them through the tides of this life and ultimately lead them through the Final Tide.
Scholars of the Order have also drawn inspiration from myths surrounding the Sentinel Imperator, developing an entire set of theories about water.
Theory I: The Origin of the World is Water[]
Water is universally present in everything and encompasses all things, representing infinity. It is an object of infinite nature. Everything originates from water, including the creation of the world itself.
Theory II: Water is Fluid, Like the Constant Movement of the Tide[]
In its movement, water is divided into the contrasting sides of cold and hot, dry and wet, forming the world. The movement of water is the tide. Everything is born in the tide and will eventually end in the Final Tide. However, this end does not signify obliteration. Just as everything originates from water, the end is merely a return to the embrace of water. This movement creates a cycle, ultimately reuniting everything in the sea. From this reunion, humans will again be separated, only to be reborn like spring shoots, in an infinite cycle.
