Waterskin

A waterskin was a bag of skin that was used to hold water, particularly in hot regions. "Many desert travelers carry these, true?"

- Jamilia

Description
"Perhaps it is a mistake for desert travelers to carry small waterskins. Wouldn't it be wiser for them to emulate the turtle, and carry containers the size of their backs?"

- Jamilia

Waterskins were often shaped like kidneys and made of goatskin, but they could also come in a variety of other styles. They were sold in Maztica, Faerûn, and Zakhara, as well as other places, where they were often sold in explorer's kits.

Powers
Magic waterskins existed throughout the Realms, particularly in Maztica. Golden water of Zakhara could be used to repeatedly replenish waterskins.
