Rivendaloth
River of the Vale
Rivendaloth is a prominent and vital waterway in the world of Eärlindalë. Originating from Aranalorë, The Mirror of the Stars, nestled between the verdant plains of Eärmithalas and the dense expanse of Neldorath's deep forests, this river meanders gently along the boundary of the forest for a span of approximately 300 kilometers. Its waters flow with a tranquil grace, reflecting the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.
As Rivendaloth winds its course, it becomes a living thread that binds the diverse realms it traverses. Its significance deepens as it continues its journey, intersecting with the major tributary known as the River Rhegilond, aptly named the "Flowing Star". Creating a confluence that amplifies the river's power and significance.
The river's path extends further west, revealing its unyielding connection with the land it graces. At this point, Rivendaloth finds itself within the fertile plains of Eärmithalas, a region inhabited by the Valaraith tribe. Here, the river's waters play a pivotal role in sustaining the life of the land, offering nourishment and resources to both flora and fauna alike. Before the river empties out in the sea, it flows trough a delta, spanning an impressive 40.000 square kilometers.
The delta's terrain presents a formidable challenge to those who seek to traverse it. However, the rewards for those who brave its intricate network of channels and marshes are substantial. The expansive range of animal and plant life found within this unique habitat is a testament to the river's essential role in fostering biodiversity and sustaining countless species.
Throughout history, Rivendaloth has been a witness to the ebb and flow of civilizations, acting as both a lifeline and a source of inspiration. Its waters have mirrored the evolution of the elven people, their settlements, and their endeavors. From its humble beginnings in the heart of the forest to its grandeur as a delta teeming with life, Rivendaloth stands as a symbol of the intricate relationships between land, water, and the beings that call this world home.
