Nehir River, South Fork

With its source somewhere in the Forest of Orman, the south fork of the Nehir River is an odd stream. Its flow is unpredictable, and sudden floods as if from snow melt or spring rains can come in any season. While it provides abundant water and moves with enough volume to float boats and enough force to drive waterwheels, the people who live along it prefer to get their water from deep wells.
The south fork of the Nehir is a magical stream. The water is not always enchanted, but one can never be too careful. A hundred buckets might have no effect, but one drink could be disastrous. According to local talk, drinking from the stream can changes one’s hair or eye color or cause the growth of horns or other cosmetic alterations, or even result in changing the drinker into another creature entirely. People have been turned into sheep. Sheep have been turned into dragons. In one memorable tale, a passing dragon rampaging through the region drunk deeply from the river and turned into a squirrel. True, a fire-breathing squirrel that took three days to hunt down and slay, but a squirrel nonetheless.
