History of the Ministry of Water is a book found in the Kestrel Archives in Arborstone. It appears after completing The End of the Celestial Ministry achievement.
Compiled and researched by Hui Jung as part of the Ministry of Archives literature collection on the Zhaitan Disaster.
When speaking with the descendant of Minister Nai, Mok Ju, I was left contemplating the potency of power within the Celestial Ministry's bloodline(s); it remains one of the lingering, burning questions in my research (which I suspect might also explain their prolonged lives).
Minister Nai was "just." As one can infer, the Ministry of Water controlled the elaborate canals that lined Old Kaineng; he controlled the entirety of the city's water system (which, as we've now observed, posed a great number of ethical complications). To our knowledge, he didn't use those abilities to control the waters of Cantha in the same way that say, Minister Tao controlled the air. But while he was less prone to accepting bribes, they did adjust taxes at harsh intervals.
After the Zhaitan Disaster, Nai almost immediately stepped down from his position. He cited a "lack of relevancy," and thought that there was little room for the Celestial Ministries in a revitalized Cantha. He opened a flower shop in the heart of New Kaineng that his descendants still run today.
Nai's known descendant refused to comment on the minister's death.
