The River Styx
"The River Styx is the clear border between the realms of Xanledash in relative peace and the warzones. The river itself may be crossed by paying a toll to a ferryman, but all who are consigned there suffer for the sin of gluttony. Souls are bound by a ball and chain and forced to drown in the black waters for eternity. The Styx is also an effective as a tool to wipe memories. Anyone living who would fall into its waters is immediately wiped of their previous memories. On the river, the Civil War is fought in naval battle. The giant palace ship of Drognar, the Dark God of Gluttony, commands a fleet of demons against Ba'al, the Archfiend of Gluttony, making conditions worse than they already are." - Daemonologie
Geography
The Styx is bordered by two shores and is about 100 miles of river from shore to shore at any given point. Shipwrecks from the civil war litter the bottom of it.
Fauna & Flora
Aside from the condemned souls, Demons include Sirens, Water Hags and other sea faring races. Devils include chain devils and fallen angels. Other unaligned creatures include undead like Merrow or Drowners. Those who have lost their memories come back as the Returned, assuming a new identity with a golden mask forged onto their faces.
