The Serpent

Starting at Lake Agate, this river flows through the land, providing water for the Baryan Empire, Alodia and Bahr Al Juba. The Serpent is a seasonal river and regularly floods in relation to rains in the far off Ashanti highlands. This leaks to a fertile flood plain around the river which supplies the populous cities of the Empire and the Satrapy of Alodia. The patron goddess of the River is known as the Merciful Lady. One of the most important in the area and a leading figure in the Baryan Pantheon. It is joined by The White Thunderer in the Baryan Empire, and The Shadow river at Soba, before eventually forming The Great Delta as it empties into The Dreaming Sea.
