The Nesser River is a long, slow, exceptionally broad and deep artery river which drains the Nyr Dyv into the Sea of Gearnat.The river features many islands and numerous channels, but is still 3 miles wide on average and so even deep-draft seagoing vessels can sail up or down its entire length if properly piloted.[1][2][3]
It is important as a trade route within Nyrond and the Duchy of Urnst. The Nesser lowlands are exceptionally fertile, with rich, dark soils, although flooding is not uncommon.[4] The Nesser is slow traveling within the Gnatmarsh, at the southern most parts of which it then merges with the Duntide River. Travel on the Nesser is hazardous within the Gnatmarsh because of the fauna there.[5]
The Nesser forms a natural border between Nyrond and the Duchy of Urnst to Nyrond's west.[6] The Franz River flows into the Nesser at its northern reaches, at Fennelmore Marsh at the borders of Nyrond, the County of Urnst and the Duchy of Urnst, and is the natural border between Nyrond the County of Urnst.
The Rhennee could be encountered on the Nesser River.[7]
