Swakut River

The gateway for many foreigners into the Sabo Jungles, the great Swakut River is itself a foreboding and potentially prophetic sight. Its waters are stained a bloody red by the iron-rich clay that lines its banks, and they play host to crocodiles, carnivorous fish, poisonous snakes, and swarms of stinging insects. The river is broad rather than deep for much of its length, and its bottom becomes perilously shallow at times, forcing travelers to disembark and portage their boats or detour through its tributaries and into their associated swamps — and both options carry more direct danger than following the main river expanse. At the same time, the river mud also holds tiny particulate flakes of gold, discovered early on by members of the Sabo Products Consortium. This discovery has led to rightfully held speculation of truly titanic gold deposits deeper within the jungle. In the past century, several large deposits have been discovered and zealously guarded from outside discovery. SPC merchants suspect they've still only scratched the surface, however, and that somewhere deeper the true source of the river's gold lies undiscovered or is protected and concealed from outsiders by native tribes.
