The Ssaphibian River is one of Isonhound’s major waterways and a vital water-based trade artery, perhaps the largest in all of Quelmar. It connects the northeast and southwest shores of Isonhound
About
Noted for its sometimes treacherous navigation and its reputation as a lair for fearsome draconic beings, the river plays a key role in both commerce and regional history. It connects important settlements and serves as the endpoint for larger, man‐made canals (such as the River Titicaca which connects to Sneerwell) that link nearby urban and mining centers. Its course makes it a preferred (if sometimes perilous) route for merchant barges and a coveted location for both legitimate traders and less savory elements like river pirates.
History
In 825 PR gold from the Nightfall Station—a secretive mining colony run by the Capella Consortium—was ferried down the Ssaphibian River by vessels that also hauled equipment and labor upstream.
Geography and Route
While detailed hydrographic maps of the river are sparse, available lore shows that the Ssaphibian River flows near Sneerwell and merges with man‐made canals such as the River Titicaca.
Notable Inhabitants
Prelnirith
A topaz dragon who lived just off the river.
