Signs of a struggle, which revealed journal and show something heavy fell down the penstock.

hatch on edge, penetrated by two large-diameter (10 cm) hoses (magical waveguides) to the equipment that draws power for the water portal.

The equipment for the shroud power draw: it is only using a small fraction of its capacity to do the portal, since the cloister is down.

Derelict cloister equipment.

Desk, writing chair, comfy chair, small table.

Under the hatch is a catwalk around the perimeter of the intake tower. The magic portal is directly under the hatch. It is suspended by wires and connected to the cables. There is also a level sensor pointed at the water below (in a tube so as not to be disturbed by the white water) at the outer edge of the catwalk.

Element of Honesty
    Location: The LIMINAL KEEP, under the Lake of New Canterlot.
    Power when Corrupted: False divination (tending to drive seers to despair)
    
    The element is kept with equipment to facilitate scrying in the dome of the
    Liminal Keep, Bluestar’s sanctum sanctorum. Access to the Liminal Keep
    requires exploration in New Canterlot, including possibly talking to NPCs,
    and figuring out how to access the keep (involving the hidden water level regulating 
dam. Bonus points for not draining the Lake.)

Bluestar himself found the Element in the periapocalyptic period and kept it in his
secret fortress. He knew of, and wrote about, its corruption. His journal, explaining
that the element is corrupted, can be found in the Liminal Keep, in his quarters.

After the Element of Honesty was lost by its bearer, it was found by sea ponies and brought to the archmage of the Isle of Yore, Bluestar the Brillant, for safekeeping. Bluestar recognized that the element had been corrupted, and, lacking awareness of the means to purify it, he kept it safe. First in the Lake Tower, and later, in the Lacustrine Keep. The Lacustrine keep is a keep built on top of the intake tower of the dam. Access to it is only by underwater.

The Lacustrine keep regulates the water level of the lake. The magical cloister was permeable to air and water vapor, although not to liquid water, and consequently the lake would have evaporated or leaked out of the cloister field eventually. (When the cloister was active, the lake was dry exterior to the cloister, although moist in immediate proximity to it due to slow leakage of unusually fast-moving water molecules.) It contains a magical portal, remotely controlled by a pressure sensor in the powerhouse. The portal is connected to the abyss, and admits water but not salt, and is powered by the dimensional prison created by the Dread Pantheon, which Bluestar discovered. (He powered the cloister in the same way.)

The dam was outside the cloister. The magic portal stuff is in the old powerhouse, injecting the water into the system (reverse of the direction it used to travel. Opening the valves at the bottom of the turbine will drain the lake into the lake parish.
