Aredvi Sura Anahita — 'the moist, mighty, immaculate one' — is the yazata of all the waters on earth, of fertility, and of purification. She is the source from which rivers flow and to which they return. Hex 48 (The Well) is Anahita as inexhaustible source: water over wood, the well that serves the community unchanged through dynasties. 'The town may be changed, but the well cannot be changed.' Hex 29 (The Abysmal) is water's deeper nature — danger, depth, the abyss that must be traversed honestly. Anahita purifies, but purification requires descent into the waters, not avoidance of them.
