Pantai River

The broad Pantai River is central to the history and civilization of the Xha’en region. Originally flowing unrestricted from high in the Impossible Peaks, the Pantai brought water to the rich and fertile Plains of Xha, allowing the development of agriculture and permanent settlements by the region’s original inhabitants, the Senge tribesfolk. This fertility came with problems however, for the Pantai periodically flooded the region, washing away towns and farms. It was the Xha’en who ended this ancient cycle by erecting the mighty Lujhiran Dam on the Alu River to the north, permanently flooding the Pantai Lowlands and freeing The Plains from the threat of flooding. Today, the northern portion of the Pantai River remains, bringing fresh water from the mountains to the artificial Lake Pantai, from which the river’s lower portion, the South Pantai River, now flows, into the teeming settlements and farms of the Plains of Xha.
