Telentia River
The Telentia River is the large navigable river that flows south from the White-Bone-Teeth Mountains, through the Telentia River Plains and out into the Istaril Sea. The river is central to the Telentia River Plains and the Al'Quam people who live there.
The river has several features that make it the lifeblood of the region. First, while the river winds its way south, winds along the river often blow north. This means that ships can use sails or animals to travel north and let the river's current carry them back down. Second, the river is deep enough for all but the largest boats and wide enough to allow ships to pass each other easily. Third,and perhaps most important, the river floods in regular and most importantly, predictable intervals. This flooding not only deposits nutrient rich silt along its banks but also carries fresh water to the fields and irrigated farms that line its shores. These factors have allowed for the Al'Quam civilization to flourish in an otherwise inhospitable land.
