In 1369 DR, the Cormyrean engineer Ivar Devorast visited this canal in Shou Lung. He had been tasked by the city-state of Innarlith to construct a smaller canal to connect the Lake of Steam to the Nagaflow. Ran Ai Yu, a Shou merchant who frequented Faerûn had brought him there aboard her ship and believed that he would learn something from it before he headed back to Innarlith.
