River Pykeris

This river has its source north of Assuria, at the edge of the Zakros Mountains, and zigzags over 700 miles through the lowlands of Istaflumina to the Gulf of Ur. It is a rough and fast-flowing river; its high banks make it difficult to cross and unsuitable for irrigation. Its major tributaries (the River Saan, the Lesser Saan, and Minala) run out of the Zakros Mountains. The great cities of Assuria are concentrated along the Pykeris, though fewer cities are on the river farther south.
