High Rivers

Location
High Rivers are in the Commonwealth of Aureum and it spans across the whole continent flowing from the High Lakes into Weedbottom in the north and Icaric Ocean in the south.

Terrain & Climate
Temperate and moist.

Flora & Fauna
Plenty of fish live in the river bringing fishing birds and mammals like bears and beavers to the river. Waterlilies and the likes liven up the scenery.

History
Many a settlement has been built along the High Rivers. Perhaps most notable of all the settlements is the Aureate capital Plethora. From there trade started flowing along the river making it necessary to build canals to raise to the level of High Lakes and to get back down on the river. Wealthvein was founded and later turned into a prosperous trading haven.

Later the Gieldan capital, the Mint, was built at the southern end of the High Rivers. The Gieldans forge all the coins used in Commonwealth of Aureum thus cargo boats full of riches often travel the river all the way to Plethora bringing more coin into the trade.
