Sekto Springs Dam was a large, industrial dam situated on the northern end of the Mongo River. The dam acted as both a hydroelectric power generator, a water-bottling facility, and the direct headquarters for Sekto Springs Bottled Water Company. The company itself, being led by Mr. Sekto, an Oktigi robber baron who personally owned all of the Mongo River. Sekto's Dam served two purposes: to harvest river water for re-sale as bottled spring water and to keep the once lush Mongo River Valley dry. With the river greatly receded, land open for Clakker settlement increased, allowing for the creation of towns like Buzzarton and Gizzard Gulch.
This industrial development was all at the cost of the native Grubb tribes, who not only depended on the river as a source of food, but also greatly revered and worshiped it.
To better decrease the odds of potential Grubb resistance, Sekto would employ the aid of a heavily armed Wolvark militia to help gaurd the dam, patrol the various smaller dams that dotted the Mongo Valley, and conduct strategic attacks on Grubb settlements as a way to expand his territory. It was presumed decades of violent altercations between the Grubb people and Sektos forces that led to the destruction of numerous Grubb settlements and the near extinction of the Steef, a species that has all but vanished from the Mongo River Valley.
The bursting of the dam.
The long reign of Sekto Springs Dam would finally come to an end when the Stranger (one of the last surviving Steef in Mudos), along with and army of Grubb rebels, launched a full scale assault to push back Wolvark forces, dethrone Sekto, and free the water once and for all. As a result of the Dams destruction, some Clakker towns were flooded, including Gizzard Gulch, Buzzarton, and possibly New Yolk City. Sekto however, was still very much alive as he was last seen swimming down the now free Mongo River.
