The Fennelwater Flood
A fast thaw outran warnings that reported water height without its rate of rise.
What happened
The stations transmitted accurate numbers too slowly to be useful. Rescue crews reached farms already cut off from their boats. Ilyra required a second measure—how quickly the level changed—rather than punishing keepers for numbers that were technically correct. The reform became a test of whether the League could learn publicly.
