Serren Delta

The Serren Delta is located where the River Serren flows into the expansive Seru Bay.
The Serren Delta is known for its characteristic and intricate network of rivers, streams and tributaries that combined create a labyrinth of waterways. Due to these waterways, the floodplains of the delta are extremely fertile and can support lush vegetation and wildlife and have made it a crucial agricultural area for the Empire of Dercia with many of the small islands in the delta supporting small farms that then transport the produce down the river and out of the delta to some of the larger cities located near the coast or to one of the settlements lining the edge of the delta for further transport inland.
These outer edges of the delta are covered in mangrove forests that help provide a natural barrier against storms and the flooding that follows these when near coastal regions, likewise they also help slow down erosion. Parts of the Serren Delta are marshland that creates a habitat for various aquatic species and birds, some of these animals have their mating areas in the marshes of the delta, and others just use the delta as a pitstop for further migration inland in the case of birds and some species of fish, like the Antodile.
The river is considered sacred to some of the people who inhabit it, and there are numerous shrines and temples dedicated to water deities and spirits. Rituals and offerings are common to ensure good harvests and safe travels.
A famous feature of the Serren Delta are that of the wreack of a Dercian warship that during a storm got driving into the delta where it stranded, some of the crew survived and for a time lived with the locals until they could return to their homes, the ship now acts as a bearing mark for the people of the Delta.
