Enchanted River

The Enchanted River is one of the two main rivers in Eightheria. It runs from The coast through the Bermuda Trimounds. What makes it so unique is that is runs in the opposite direction than it should, flowing South to North. This is due to an enchantment (hence the name) by Zanthar so long ago.

Long ago, when Eightheria was just starting out, the wizard Zantar and his company of adventurers found the river. Needing a way to get back to the coast, Zanthar put an enchantment on the river system to make it flow in the opposite direction. After he made it to the coast, Zanthar decided to keep the spell on the water to bring all ships to the coast. The spell was made even stronger when Lissaland (Mitchland at the time) was formed and needed an easy way to get goods from the southern kingdoms.

Finding an issue in travel ways, though, Zanthar updated the spell to allow ships to travel in both directions easily, while the river itself still flowed South to North.

The Enchanted River is now protected by the Ladies of Art, who keep the river and the surrounding area safe from evil powers and creatures.
