There is an old rumor in the Five Poison Sect that the Forgotten River Gu is not man-made, but fished from the water of Forgotten River.
In ancient times, a river flowed down from the snowy peak at the highest point in the Miao territory. The water in the river was as cold as a dead man's fingertips, and it never saw sunlight all year round. There is a kind of transparent insect in the river, as thin as a hair, floating with the water. They have no eyes or mouthparts, and survive by devouring memory fragments floating in the water - those memories are the last thoughts emanating from the drowned people upstream.
A priest of the Five Poisons accidentally drank a few bugs while fetching water from the river. For the next seven days, he forgot his way home, his wife's face, and who he was. At dusk on the seventh day, he walked into the river with a smile. The water was above his head and never floated again.
Later generations called the river Wangchuan. They refined the insect into Gu and named it Wangchuan Gu.
