Nīwulai Valley, Southeast Minnaug (ˈni:wu.lai)
The valley received its name from the river Nīwulai which has carved its way from the western Himakōshu mountains all the way down to the eastern shore. The name directly translated means "green water". It is the primary, and in some cases the only, water source for the tīnon people who inhabit the valley.
Nīwulai has three main tributaries - Himalaino from the mountains (often considered the main stem), Hilaino from the Lake Koiwuyu in the north, and Pailaino from the southwest. These and many other, much smaller streams, come together in and around Lake Akaun. From there the river, now much wider, continues east until it splits into a river delta, forming many currents and a hundred islands before reaching the salty sea waters.
Lake Koiwuyu
A thousand tiny streams rush down the hills bordering the Koiwuyu lake. It is by far the largest lake in the valley and the source of River Hilaino. Along its shore is located one of the oldest tīnon settlement Yinoi, which remained a capital of the region through many ages. Beneath the shadows of the northern hills, traversing through a deep gorge runs a narrow path and a dried out river. This path is one of the only way to get to the northern wastes from the valley, and vice versa.Lake Akaun
Many Sun Kings of the valley have resided on the hills next to lake Akaun. Tuashayila's High Temple and its attached complex span the lake's two islands, making it not only the capital of the nation, but the religion as well. It also receives the river tributaries in the west, which then drain down a wide river in the east. All of these connections have given it the nickname "World's Crossing".
