Erto River

The largest river in the southern part of Ifthaaz is the Erto, which flows out of the Scythirian Mountains and through the Taanach Hills to enter the Sea of Baal at Gammad. The Erto River is considered the border between Ifthaaz and Numeda to its south.
Groups of rash youth from Numeda will on occasion attempt to challenge the border by dashing on horseback out of the hills, crossing the river, and looking for someone to attack to prove they are helping their country. Ifthaaz uses the border area to train its new guard troops, so the young Numedans almost always encounter a patrol of soldiers better armed than they are and also more familiar with the territory. The Ifthazites are generally content with chasing the miscreants back across the river, and as long as neither side has to contend with actual troops crossing the border, tolerable neutrality is maintained.
