Pesha River

Pesha River The Pesha River of Khartous gets its start in the high badlands of the Jekkibet Hills and runs through a canyon in the harsh, rocky waste nearby to where the land flattens out to open desert. It is a strong-flowing river, but where the land is very low, as it approaches the sea, it spreads into a delta. The current becomes slow and small streams trickle off and rejoin the main channel, but it still averages 80 feet wide and the channel is 20 feet deep, so it cannot be easily forded. It has one significant split where the Eastern Branch of the Pesha makes its own way to the sea. The fertile river delta is heavily farmed, with villages and towns scattered throughout, and is the main source of food for all of northern Khartous.
