The Autaran River
The Autaran River is a large river that runs through Autara, originating from the northwest, before ending at the Eastern Sea. There are also tributaries that join up with the river as it flows out to sea.
Most of the river is under the control of Autara, with only a few of its tributaries -like the Dark Forest Tributary- being outside of the Queen's control.
It is utilized by many people living along the river, mostly Autarans and Sea Folk, to transport goods and crops to market, for powering mills, and of course for transportation by boat. The Witches of the Woods also utilize the river tributaries located in the Dark Forest for transportation.
Tributaries
The Autaran River originates in the Hill Lands from where it runs down into the lowlands following gravity until it reaches the sea; however, as it goes rivers and streams flow into the river and join it moving downstream.Dark Forest River
The Dark Forest River is a river tributary of the Autaran River, originating from the south and running through the Dark Forest before meeting up with the Autaran River just west of the Capital. The Witches of the Woods control the Dark Forest River and Autarans rarely travel on its waters for fear of the witches. The source of the Dark Forest River is rumored to be a Magical Spring with healing properties. The river gets quite shallow towards its source requiring travelers to travel on foot.River Delta
The Autaran River empties out into the Eastern Sea with its delta forming an area of wetland and coastal plain surrounding it. There are numerous fishing towns and villages surrounding the delta, along with a few larger trading towns and ports. These trading ports are home to a lot of trade and travel with lots of people traveling in and out on the ships.
