Caldar River
Geography
The Caldar River (Bel-Mittenloth in Elvish) is a large river flowing out of the western mountains and through the known regions of the world. It touches Naru, Cobal, Imesse (both Northern and Lesser) and a small portion of Aria in the extreme northwest. From the great bend at Jemptal in Cobal, the river averages a mile in width for most of its continued course. There is only one bridge known to cross the Caldar, and that is at Lorancourt in Imesse. Utilizing a unique narrowing of the banks, and a series of rock outcrops, a bridge has been built that allows foot and vehicle traffic to cross on a daily basis.
Ecosystem
The river teams with life all along it course. Tons of fish, eels, turtles, snails and crayfish are harvested every year, along with fowl, game animals and fur-bearers like beaver, mink, and martin. Fox, bear, wolves and various cats can be found hunting for deer, elk, boar, aurochs, hares, and wild ponies all along the banks of the river.
Along much of the river are stands of ancient hardwood forests, towering growths of spruce and pine, hundreds of acres of scrub oak and birch groves, and miles of lush grasslands broken only by settlements and farms.
