Emerald

The Emerald River takes its name from a unique form of algae that grows atop its slow-moving water. Sapping minerals from the river shore and runoff from the Hellfurnace Mountains, this green vegetation forms a quartz-like layer that, from a distance, looks like sheets of floating emerald. While quite beautiful, the shiny algae makes perfect camouflage for the slick scales of the crocodiles, snakes, frogs and the gigantic varieties of each that lurk within.
