The river Hercyna
Even watching the river Hercyna dashing along its course is often enough
to capture an onlooker's breath. The thought of actually entering the
river, then, surely must only occur to the very brave or the very foolish.
Watching the tiny silver fish from the bridge over the the river tells you
there is life there, thriving; but if you only scratch the surface, you
will discover an ecosystem possibly more dangerous and relentless than the
river itself. Any creature capable of adapting to this river would
certainly have to be... Folk tales abound of the magical properties of
something in the water, that makes for all manner of treasures - though
most likely you will have to fight to the death to ever set eyes upon
them...
