Anhagga River
Pronunciation: an-HAG-ga
Map Index: E4, F4
Location: Northeast Beorlan. The Anhagga River originates in the gently rolling landscapes of central Palanlad and flows in a meandering pattern to the east southeast, until in joins the calm waters of Anhagga Bay. Along the way the river passes through a savanna of tall grasslands and pockets of short trees.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Physical Characteristics: Approximately 135 miles in total length, the Anhagga River begins as a narrow river with a shallow depth. While this makes it easy to cross on foot, this stretch is not navigable by boat. As the river progresses further eastward, many streams join it that flow out of the hills of Alvalariel. This increases the river's flow making it deep enough to be navigable by canoe and rowboats. Further downstream, nearing Anhagga Bay, the river widens enough to accommodate shallow draft flat-bottom boats.
Environment and Ecology: The Anhagga River experiences great seasonal changes in its flow. During the wetter months of winter and early spring, frequent rains fill the river. As the dry weather of late spring and summer dry up the land, river levels begin to drop. Eventually, during the hot dry days of summer, the river ceases to flow and becomes a series of water holes.
Hazards and Challenges: While the river itself poses no serious hazards, travelers can face dangers from the myriad of wildlife drawn to its banks. Great herds of gazelles, antelopes, and wildebeests frequent the area in search of water. This attracts large and potentially dangerous predators such as leopards who come to the river in search of prey.
