The only narrator will be the Water.
The entire history of Vélia is characterised by the presence of this element. Water is the recurring element and therefore the only possible omniscient witness to each century and the various urban changes. The Water may have listened to the series of characters that were here in Vélia in different eras and can talk about it.
