Difference between revisions of "River Mnemosyne"

The waters of the Mnemosyne rise from a spring lake in the central [[Vasnari Mountains]], flowing through a series of purifying weirs at the edge of the mountains, before crashing southwest into the [[Grukai Swamp]]. The river's course turns west-southwest as it pierces the central [[Atrousian Jungle]], creeping through the ruins of [[Seleucar]]. Rounding a steep bend in Seleucar, the river continues north as it leaves the walls of the city. Here, it follows a long and winding northward progression, forking into the lesser [[Tyron River]] as it runs parallel to the [[Aurulent Highway]]. Finally breaking free of the jungle, the river flows across the [[Northern Scrublands]] before fanning into the rich [[Mnemosyne Delta]] where it feeds the sea.

During the journeys of [[Nikolas]] and his band, the [[Tsol'teth]] cursed the Mnemosyne with plagues {{--}} one of many hardships they heaped upon the settlers. This curse continues to the present day, and only by virtue of an ancient obsidian weir near its source, covered in [[amar moss]], does western Meropis enjoy the benefit of clean, pure water.

 

During the times of the [[Wars of Succession]], the Mnemosyne was the location of the Battle of Beggars' Arch. [[Mycale deSangre|Mycalian]] forces were massacred by the amassed and waiting [[Catarin deSangre|Catarines]] as they attempted to cross the river.
