Summary: BUILDING
Hanno and Kepler create The Keptaba River from a mountain bordering Astorea and The Hylands. This river is used to create a Roman-style Aqueduct beneath Vintergard. Thanks to Hanno and Kepler leading the charge, Vintergard now has plumbing, toilets, and bath houses, with personal house plumbing on its way in the future. Kepler requested that the government educate the populace on how to use everything and establish some new laws for the sake of National Hygiene.
...She has also filed a patent on the sewage and plumbing system as well as a working 'Super-Convi Rear Washing Toilet' known as The Kep-let. Both of these diagrammed documents have been left in the care of The Astorean Government. She plans to spread this worldwide someday. Thread Epilogue has been transplanted and included below:
All in all, The Keptaba River Project had worked perfectly and thanks to that----Vintergard's new Aqueduct construction finished without a hitch roughly two weeks later. The building of the infrastructure had been at times boring, at other times tedious, and nearly all of the time off screen, but in the end Kepler and Hanno managed everything without very much trouble at all. This was in large part thanks to Kepler's mass production magic, Hanno's elbow grease, and a great deal of pre-planning involving Vintergard's already existing cave and tunnel system below the city. Those were cleverly put to service funneling the new Keptaba River underground beneath the city which is apparently---according to Wikipedia---How a Roman Aqueduct worked.
Really, the largest challenge was educating the people, and for that, Kepler forwarded numerous requests to The New Astorean Government requesting the dissemination of seminars involving how everything worked. There were new public bathhouses, new public restrooms, and personal pressurized water plumbing was well on the way as well. And so, as with any new system, there would of course have to be some new rules...
When everything was done Kepler submitted her patent. And in that patent, perhaps the first one the ever-burgeoning nation had ever received, Kepler detailed her schematics for any future engineers or exploratory excavators. In those notes was also a mention of some ancient ruins way way down, of which, Kepler noted she had been extremely careful to avoid.
And that, dear reader, was the story of how we came to settle the question of where Astoreans poop. They go to the bathroom in much the same we do, because they now have toilets in which to take care of their business.
And likely soon, the rest of the world would adopt the use of Kep-lets as well. The fancy kind. The ones that clean your rear with a stream of water. Kepler and Kepler's would make sure of that.
