RISKY RIVER //mixing of alliances Born from the glacier and many tributes came the mighty river. The river divides the unclaimable lands from the main herd lands. Rugged rocks jet up from the white waters to show how sharp and deadly the bottom of the river is. Rapids occur often in the river, proving fatal to even the most experienced swimmer; but eventually the river becomes calm as it approaches the sea, allowing equines to cool off in the water. The river also provides justice and protection for those who do not want to join the dramatic and changing world of the alliances. It is said that a spirit lurks in these depths, and that every spring the spirit comes alive to flood the plains and pure the land of innocent blood.
