The Bloody Run

The waters in this broad, shallow stream originate in the hills above Chlestea Lake at the base of the Howling Fortress before ending their journey in the Xircos River. The stream, which has an average width of 30 feet and a maximum depth of three feet, earned its name from the reddish tint in the water. Popular folklore suggests blood from the Howling Fortress stains the Bloody Run, though most people attribute the unusual color to high concentrations of copper in the streambed. However, no one debates that the crawfish inhabiting the stream are among the tastiest in Akados, a realization that lures fishermen and connoisseurs to the banks of this otherwise ordinary freshwater stream.
