Organization

Any river has a offspring, in fact one could argue that its merely streams, creeks and similar small ones that has it. Rivers instead can be argued to have sources, as they normally are extremely wide and long, some stretching hundreds of kilometres.

As rivers run they are often fed by numerous sources and becomes quite powerful, able to flush valleys abd cut mountains. At places their width and depth makes them seem slow and gentle in their passing. But in arrow and shallow passages they become fast, noisy, and turbulent. Bringing death and destruction to anything and anyone attempting transport.

So long… quiet song…

So wide… gentle glide…

So thin… peeling skin…

So low… teeths show…

The fluid fangs of fish and beast…

They aid, cut, and shape our World

But theres still old shores being visited to ensure accuracy and some are redrawn as errors and changes discovered and as the great library of Grimsborg burned we are redoing work on all 16 major rivers of Midgard.
