The '''Zaphar River''' begins in the [[Granite Hills]], where it is fed by an underground spring. Travelling southwards through the [[:Category:Continents|continent]] of [[Sapience]], it follows a primarily straight path, separating the [[Western Ithmia]] from the [[Northern Ithmia|Northern]] and [[Eastern Ithmia|Eastern Ithmias]], while a tributary of the Zaphar separates the Northern and Eastern Ithmias themselves. Further south within its waters lies the Isle of [[Delos]], which temporarily bisects the river. It continues onward parallel to the [[Raphaelan Highway]], through the [[Putoran Hills]], before emptying into the [[Peshwar Delta]]. The spirit of the Zaphar, old man [[Zaphar (spirit)|Zaphar]], watches over the well-being of his waters from the [[Temple of Kastalia]]. | The '''Zaphar River''' begins in the [[Granite Hills]], where it is fed by an underground spring.

The river has been poisoned on several occasions. In 385 AF, it, along with all other Sapient rivers, was plagued by a toxic substance that resulted in the weakening, or even death, of all life within. This was caused by the need of Lady [[Kastalia]]'s "tear", a dwelling which called for pure waters to fulfill and feed its unborn [[:Category:Gods|Goddess]]. Once the tear was fully satiated, it transformed into the new Diety, and the rivers were at last cleared by a special flower bulb She bestowed to [[adventurer|adventurers]] upon Her birth. In 479 AF, the Zaphar was tainted again, this time by the mental machinations of old man Zaphar who was driven mad by [[Nomku]], a spirit of the [[Dreamrealm]]. The resulting madness both poisoned the life within and caused the river to overflow, destroying the city of [[Delos]] with its flooding. | |||
