From hidden mountain springs to the open arms of distant seas, the waterways of Elysoria form the living arteries of the realm. Some are wild and untraveled, like the Elderwood Flow, winding through ancient forests untouched by time. Others are bustling and essential, like the Eorlwaters or the Ambergleam, carrying goods, stories, and people between the realm’s greatest cities. The great lakes—Elderglow Basin, Lake Aurora, and the Azure Expanse—anchor trade and culture, each shaped by the lands that surround them. Elderglow holds silence and mystery. Aurora hums with commerce. The Azure Expanse is the bridge across which the interior meets the coast. From river mouths like Ravenspire, where cargo slips seaward, to quiet reaches where lily pads drift untouched, these waters bind the realm together.
