River of Blood

The River of Blood (An abhainn na fola- Raidhsénian) is possibly the second longest river in Abhainnia , after the river of Horses .
==Geography==
The river stretches from The Houmite constellation in the south, to the 'Land of the White Horses ' in the north. The river is intersected by a number of waterfalls, which makes it impossible to travel upstream by vessel. As a result, no-one has ever been able to make a successful exploration of the north of the river, as to travel along its banks is to face very dangerous, unidentified local tribes that murder outsiders on sight.
What is more, these tribes use the thick forests as cover and even large groups of explorers can very easilly become ambushed and cut off from all escape routes.
==Onomatology==
The name is derived from the fact that since, every expedition to try and explore the north of the river has perished, the suggestion is that the river is full with the blood of those who have attempted.
The last known attempt was in the mid Archaic age, involving an expedition of 300 men from Raidhsénia . Not one man returned alive.
