The Spear is one of the largest and most well-known rivers on the continent of Aqoris. Technically it is one main river with three smaller rivers that flow into the main one just before they reach the Expanse, just north of Newcastle. The Spear River is the most extensive river network on the continent of Aqoris. It flows out of the marshes of the Domainlands and the southern plains of the Domainlands into the Newcastle Bay. It consists of three major branches, from south to north: the Green Ribbon, the Blue Ribbon, and the Grey Ribbon. The Spear effectively connects the entirety of the Domainlands together and is one of the most strategically important locations in Aqoris as at the mouth of the Spear is the capital of the Kingdom of Aqoris, Newcastle.
== Ribbons of the Spear ==
=== The Grey Ribbon ===
The Grey Ribbon is the largest of the three ribbons of the Spear. It flows from the marshes of the northern Domainlands, less than a hundred miles from the Marshes themselves, and travels south through the plains of the Domainlands, the heartland of the region alongside the main branch it is home to a majority of the Houses of the Domainlands, before joining the main branch at Summercross. Summercross is the main crossing point of the Spear, and the place where the Grey Ribbon and Green Ribbon both join at the main branch. It was here that the Battle of the Spear was fought during the War of the Bears and marked an almost certain defeat for the Royalists with the shattering of their army at Summercross.
=== The Green Ribbon ===
The Green Ribbon is the second largest of the three branches of the Spear. It flows from the low hills of the southern Domainlands that border the Southlands. It flows through one of the largest forests on the continent outside of the Lakelands, the Royal Woods. It continues to flow north through the plains of the Domainlands until it reaches the main branch at Summercross. The Winter Road follows the main branch and then the Green Ribbon on the southern coast from Newcastle before continuing south down the Blue Ribbon.
=== The Blue Ribbon ===
The shortest and least noteworthy of the three branches rises in the hills southeast of Hollowrock. It flows northerly into the Green Ribbon of the Spear. The Winter Road from Newcastle to Sunderly follows the Blue Ribbon until it then follows the coast down to Sunderly.
