The Thunder River is a waterway southeast of Sasserine with its end at the city itself.

"Thunder river is the lifeblood of Sasserine’s thriving lumber industry. Lumberjacks upriver in the dense jungles south of Castle Rakin fell huge numbers of exotic hardwood trees, limbing and floating the logs downstream to Sasserine for milling and shipping. Along the way, the logs are tended by the brave and foolhardy logriders, who make the thirty-plus mile journey balanced on crudely-lashed logs bundles and wielding log piles, both to prevent jams and to guard shipments form competing logging concerns. Pay for both the lumberjacks and the logriders is high, as in addition to the standard hazards of their job they must keep a sharp eye out for lizardfolk, river monsters, and the deadly rapids and waterfalls that give the river its name."[1]
