The Red and Bronze Rivers

After the mighty Albian River, the two major waterways in the Emerald City region are the Red and Bronze Rivers, running northward from the heights of the Atlas Mountains and Arcadian Peaks to join with the waters of the Albian River in Malory Bay.
The Red River is the larger of the two, so named because of the rich red clay found along its banks and the reddish rocks of the Red River Canyon area. It divides the Elysian and Arcadian Peninsulas, spanned by the Red River Bridge. A Red River Dam was built in that area in the 1930s to provide hydro-electric power to Emerald City and the surrounding region. Prior to that, the Red River Valley was known for its mineral deposits, particular an active gem mine.
The Bronze River subdivides the Arcadian Peninsula on the western side of the Arcadian Peaks. It is narrower than the Red River along its length, cutting a canyon along the peninsula towards Malory Bay. The Bronze River is also rockier, with more whitewaters and cascades along its length. It is known for it annual salmon run, and Bronze River salmon is a delicacy sold in markets throughout Emerald City and the Pacific Northwest.
