Balabar River

The Balabar River (also known as the Balavar or even Valavar) is the largest river spanning the width of Osugbo, across the southern side.

History

It is believed that the river was originally known as the Valavar river in the early BR era, perhaps named by the local citizenry, which was primarily Beastfolk of various kinds, including Kitsune and Choeru.

At some point before or during The Holy War, the city of Balabag was established on the river's north bank, which led to decades of confounding of the name Balabag and the river Valavar, that a gradual vowel shift occurred, and as Balabag grew even larger, reaching it's maximum size under the Troverth Dynasty during Realm War I, the river itself became more well known as Balabar, with many believing it was named FOR the human-created city, despite it existing for centuries under a different name given by local beastfolk.

The Balabar River was the site of the Slaughter of the Rubies during The Cavalry Rush.
