Foaming River
Spilling out of the northern ridges of the Wind Wall Mountains, the Foaming River gets its name from the whitecaps that commonly top its fast flowing current as it descends into Theridon Bay, dropping nearly as much in elevation as it does over its scant distance. The river's current prevents it from serving much use for fishing or irrigation; in fact its routine flooding each spring makes living along its banks hazardous. It also presents a natural defense for the Citystate of Yaty, serving as an effective northern border against any wild dreams of conquest that might float into the heads of Zennonaize Dono's or the hill giants that call the highlands around the river home. The village of Mora sits a league back from its northern shore, a few leagues upriver from its mouth, its garrison guarding the only bridge across the river, pyres built on either side ready to set it alight in the event of danger. Even with this distance between the river and the village its wrath has been known to spill into its streets during particularly strong spring rains.
