Rivers of Mar Mabon

Mar Mabon

The rivers of Mar Mabon are few but essential, carving through the island’s arid and volatile landscape. The most important river is the Thalgas, which flows through the fertile Thalis Plains, once the heart of the Thalissian Empire. This river nurtures rare pockets of greenery amidst the otherwise dry northern plains, providing crucial sustenance to the nomadic tribes and small settlements in the region. Along the Thalgas, Larionda shrubs and Gressin flowers thrive, adding some vibrancy to the otherwise barren terrain.
In contrast, rivers like the Kaylan and Morskad cut through the more remote and rugged areas of Mar Mabon. These waterways support sparse vegetation, but their importance lies more in their role as lifelines for the scattered tribes and wildlife. Predators such as Lirketh and Rhakkor often lurk near riverbanks, making even these vital water sources dangerous to approach. The harsh environment of Mar Mabon, combined with the volatile nature of its rivers, shapes both the flora and fauna that survive in these difficult conditions.

The Farndren River originates in the Badrazar Hills and flows downstream through the hills before reaching the south coast of Mar Mabon. It plays a key role in supporting the isolated communities along its route.

Kaylan

The Kaylan River rises in the western Burning Peaks at the edge of the Curmon Desert. It flows towards the Bay of Kaylan, providing a critical water source for the otherwise arid region it traverses.

The Lengran River begins in the Shidar Highlands, flowing through the heart of Mar Mabon until it reaches the sea. It supports several small farming communities and is essential for agriculture in this rugged landscape.

Lirran

The Lirran River originates in the Badrazar Hills, flowing southward until it empties into the sea on the southern coast of Mar Mabon. It is crucial for the remote communities along its course, providing a reliable water source in this arid region.

Morskad

The Morskad River rises in the eastern Burning Peaks and flows through the town of Morskaddin. The river supports local agriculture and industry before reaching the sea.

Obassan

The Obassan River begins in the southwestern Burning Peaks and flows through the Shattered Fields before reaching the Lost Coast. It is a key waterway for the remote communities in this desolate region.

Shidon

The Shidon River rises in the Shidar Highlands and flows through the town of Morskad before reaching its mouth at Morskaddin. The river is vital for local agriculture and trade, supporting the towns along its path.

Thalgas

The Thalgas River originates in the northern Burning Peaks, flowing downstream through the ancient capital of Thalis, a city that once stood at the heart of the Thalisian Empire. It then passes through Tirmallan before reaching the sea. The river is steeped in history and remains an essential waterway for the region.

Tharn

The Tharn River rises in the southern Burning Peaks and is fed by three unnamed tributaries. It flows towards the Bay of Tharn, providing a critical water source for the arid lands it traverses. The river is vital for sustaining the sparse communities along its course.
