Iron River

The Iron River, known also by its native name Althair Uisci, or Father of Waters, is the largest river in the Snamha Mor drainage system and on the isle of Therica. It runs both Southeast and Northwest from its origin point in the Beanna Neamh mountain range, chiefly from Linn Snamha Mor, the largest mountain lake in that range. It makes up the border of the Lady Republic states of Therace and Ruhiges, and drains into Ovian Bay in the West and the Lake of Ruhiges in the East.

A number of hunter-gatherer Orcan peoples had lived along the banks of the Iron River for thousands of years before the Waxwaerlian Empire arrived on Therica, and a number of cities were founded along the river after Bretons began to colonize the Isle, like Pritchardtowne, Iron Forge, and Lake Placid.
