Split Steel River

The Split Steel River is the largest river in Beraitha, the easternmost part of Khadoa. It runs for several hundred miles from its headwaters on the northern edge of Shiankar to its mouth where it empties into the Fyrdenglin's southern end. Its largest tributary is the Ghauvail River, which flows down from the slopes of the Arkanmoor to the east. 
The valley of the Split Steel is rugged and rocky in its upper (southern) reaches, with the river often winding through sheer gorges or plunging over jagged ledges in spectacular falls. The land here is covered in pine forests and the sparse, stony soil is ill-suited to farming. As it flows north, however, it widens and slows, and its valley opens out into a wide, flat, fertile plain which forms the central lowland area of Beraitha. This region is very agriculturally productive and makes up the heartland of Uldaegu; most of the kingdom's major cities and roughly half its population are concentrated here.
