River of Gold

The River of Gold flows from Cordona Lake into Lake Aur and descends slightly along its length. Streams flowing to it from the southern section of the Zorinos Mountains carried small amounts of gold into the river, which were discovered when the waterway was expanded as part of the channel system. Many people from the poorer quarters of Mhalta, Cadua, and San Caseo, and some inhabitants of the local area, spent months (if not years) sluicing for gold in the mud dredged out of the river, in return for a small percentage of anything they found. Travelers these days still keep an eye out for a glint of gold in the water, but since anything found technically belongs to the Empire of Alcaldar, people don’t usually go to great effort to retrieve anything they may see.
