Origin[]
Richard Rowland Kirkland was a Confederate soldier who risked his own life at the possibility of being shot to give water to every wounded soldier left on the battlefield of Fredericksburg, both Confederate and Union. He did so under the permission of his superior, but not formal protection of a surrender flag. He brought canteens of water, food and blankets to every soldier before he finished the job and in that whole time, neither side fired a shot.
Effects[]
The water in the canteen will fill a person with energy and spirit, healing any wounds they recently received. It will put them in better than new condition in health, spirit and mind. The canteen naturally refills when closed and can give normal water the same quality when they are mixed together. The user will give no concern to their safety and go into life threatening situations to provide more aid.
