Description
The Jewel River is noted for its presence along the eastern edge of Celene along with its tributary, the Handmaiden River, named for the smaller moon. The River acts as a border to several nations including Celene, the County of Ulek and the Principality of Ulek. When the Jewel enters the Suss Forest, it takes on an entirely different aspect, as the rest of the geography changes along with it.
History
Geography
"The Jewel rises in the Lortmil Mountains south of the Kron Hills and flows through the nations of Celene, the County of Ulek, and the Pomarj to empty in the Azure Sea. It once formed the western border of the Principality of Ulek until both banks were captured by the forces of Turrosh Mak in 584 CY. It is navigable as far north as the Drachensgrab Hills, and some fear that pirates from the Orcish Empire use it. Gold and gemstones are still found below its swift-moving waters.[1]"
By some accounts, the Jewel River is navigable by large craft over about 150 miles of its' length.[2]
People
Because the Jewel is one of the longer rivers in the Flanaess and passes through so many different nations, the people are varied as are the languages they speak.
