The Suru river also called the River of Clips is the longest river and one of the most extensive river systems on the continent. It facilitates exorbitant amounts of trade between the Shen Dynasty, Zoher, the Zyclester Empire and the Kingdom of Helva. Even trade from some of these nations to Beleg gúl is facilitated in part by some portion of the Suru River or its offspring thanks to the efficiency of water based travel vs. land. The Suru River is additionally well loved thanks to its relative safety compared to other rivers. The Frihet Lake and Jianbo River act like filters, reducing the number of True Monsters that might find their way upstream and terrorize locals farther inland. Unfortunately for the Kingdom of Helva the Frihet River tends to draw more of the corrupt creatures since it applies less pressure to creatures attempting to divert to it upstream from the lake.
Many people also find a kind of pilgrimage along the river’s shore. One can participate in a long and steady trek called the Journey of a Thousand Sights. So many impressive landmarks, key pieces of infrastructure and important sights of all kinds have naturally congregated on the river’s shores and make for constant marvelous travel to those inclined.
