Queensribbon River

Called the Ilian by the wild elves, after a silvery blue flower that grows in the region, the Queensribbon River is best known at its mouth in Timbertown, where ships come from all over the Crescent Sea to purchase lumber from the excellent Queensribbon tree farms the elves permit Timbertown to keep on the edge of the forest. East of the forest’s eaves, especially in the late summer, the river’s length is devoted to log-driving and lined on either bank by hypnotically row-planted trees or fresh-cut stumps.
A short distance into the forest, an ever-hidden contingent of wild elves guards the river and disallows all passage any farther into their domain. The guardians always include archers and at least one druid, and the river is lined with various traps and deterrents designed to hamper boats without disrupting wildlife. Timbertown officials are careful to never cross the elves in any way, to the extent of enacting several strict river-protection policies in their use of the Queensribbon waters, despite the Timbertown obsession with profit above all else. Residents who defy local law in this regard are commonly disavowed by the Timbertown authorities and are left to the elves to punish as they see fit.
It is said that no human has ever seen the source of the Queensribbon.
