I was just reading through the Demonskar legacy, and I noticed in chapter one, after the tax riots, in the section Fire in the Night, that Asfelkir Hranleurt the Highpriest of the Temple of Lordly Might of Kord, shows up with a Wand of Water Control. Wasn't it clear in Flood Season that the Temple of Lordly Might of Kord deemed such a wand a waste of resources? So why does he have one now? I would assume the 8 wands the PC's recovered would be spent over the week (or two) in stemming the floods.
I think that was one of the many continuity issues that came up throughout the series due to the many different authors involved. You're right, as it reads, it wouldn't make sense. You can address this minor issue in one of two ways. The Temple of Lordly Might issues a (public or private) apology to the Church of St. Cuthbert and begs forgiveness for their shortsightedness regarding the importance of the matter, and then pitch in to help with the pushing back of the waters when the heroes return. There may only be a few charges left on the wand but they keep it, as you simply don't throw these things away.
Or you could have it be Kristof Jurgenson who shows up to lend a hand with the wand, as I believe the text implicitly states that he helps with the flood when the heroes return.
Either way, how you handle these minor details and inconsistincies are up to you and your specific campaign. You probably have another fix that you could use in your own game that would personalize the event even more.
When you see something in the series that doesn't fit, tweak it to your individual game. These boards are great for suggestions regarding just such things.
Cheers!
Yeah, I realized that the series here had a few continuity errors, and to be honest, it isn't that important. Just something that hit me as I read it, and as I was re-writing events to fit what I think makes more logical sense to my players.
An official answer would be nicer, Erika?

An official answer would be nicer, Erika?Diafunus, this reply comes 3-1/2 years too late . . . sorry. But in the hardcover book, this is addressed in "Flood Season" that all of the wands were not expended entirely. That IF all 8 wands are found, the town had what it needed to stem the flood while still having the majority of the wands available.
