Havari River

Starting as a great waterfall in the Zakros Mountains, the Havari River runs northeast to southwest across the entire Eastern Erg. It loses much of its moisture to the desert but continues to run strongly as it passes through the Painted Canyons and enters the Bay of Bhutan at the caliph’s city of Hava. Few people have ever tried to travel the Havari; its canyon through the Eastern Erg makes it difficult to access, and nothing has been discovered around its headwaters that would make developing it into a water route worth anyone’s while. Certain visionaries, though, are convinced the river could be a viable means of transportation if something valuable lay upstream, so explorers and prospectors keep looking.
Coming through the Eastern Erg, the Havari picks up a great deal of sand and carries it to the coast. It forms a wide, changing delta as the river drops the debris where it enters the ocean. Every so often the mouth of the Havari must be dredged to keep its channel from moving too close to the wall of the caliph’s city.
