Elemental Plane of Water

The Elemental Plane of Water is one of many Planes of Existence in the Critical Role universe. It connects to at least three points on the world of Exandria in the Material Plane.

Silver Silt Palace
After the Mighty Nein freed the marid Khedive Xundi from his enslavement, he invited them to visit his palace in the Elemental Plane of Water to collect a reward; they never did so.

The portal to Vesrah
The Water Ashari established a settlement called Vesrah among the Islands of Anamn to control the flow of energies at a rift between the Elemental Plane of Water and Exandria; they eventually also had to take on the responsibility of preventing a local kraken from crossing the rift into Exandria.

The portal to Rumblecusp
On Rumblecusp, the Heaven Falls are a place where the water cascades not down but up, falling toward the sky before curling into the mountain itself. The falls originate from a rift into the Plane of Water.

History
A connection to the Elemental Plane of Water helps give the Cauldron Sea its endlessly stormy character.

For her Aramenté, Keyleth's mother, Vilya, attempted to gather three lodestones that had been dropped by a kraken and return to Vesrah. She was accompanied by her own group of companions, but they were all killed in the effort; Vilya lost her leg and was presumed dead, but as it turned out, she had escaped and made her way back to Exandria through the rift at Rumblecusp.

In Kamaljiori's chamber in the Cavern of Axiom, there are gateways to Elemental Planes. Vex'ahlia jumped into a pool marking the gateway to the Elemental Plane of Water.

For Keyleth's last task for her aramenté, Vox Machina needed to venture through the rift into the Elemental Plane of Water. There, they had to gather three lodestones dropped by a kraken living not far from the rift without killing the kraken, as the Water Ashari people would then lose their source of lodestones. The party set off through the rift, and found the three lodestone buried at the bottom of the ocean, while fighting off the kraken. Through the course of this fight Vax died. Keyleth Plane Shifted back to Vesrah with Vax's body and Vex. Grog, Tary and Percy went back through the portal.
