You must maintain direct possession of your water bottle at all times. Passing water on the field of combat is forbidden.

Holy water, of course, is not permitted at any time.

*YES*!!! Oh, this is perfect.

Out here in An Tir, 'Heavy' water bottles are not permitted to be used on lights. You can, of course, approach within (I think it's something like 20 feet?) and yell "Water!" at the light. The light must then acknowledge the drink, and retreat from the field to the rehydration line before returning to combat.

I've heard in some kingdoms that 'Light' water bearers are allowed to offer water to heavy fighters, but only after their initial supply of light water is exhausted. Is this the case where you are?

I think "Heavy Water" is OOP.

I understand that in Atenveldt, fighters not also authorized as water-bearers may not even touch the water bottle; the water-bearer must squirt the water in for them. Is that true anywhere else?

My understanding is that this is true, and that moreover it directly conflicts with the East Kingdom regulation that the fighter must acknowledge the bottle via direct contact (or, if necessary, by making eye contact with the waterbearer and saying, "Wet!").

I am given to understand that the inability to find a suitable compromise on this point is the principal reason why there have been no direct wars between Atenveldt and the East to date...
