The River Lethe was a waterway in the central Hammerlands during Dragonhollow's Seventh Era.
At more than seventeen kilometers long, it was one of the longest rivers on the planet. It served as both a trade corridor and a transportation network after the capital city Hammerlea was built upon its banks.
The Lethe's southeastern mouth was located just downriver from Stardust Shores. It wandered through jungle and mesa, passing under the shadow of the DHPR Radio Tower and a Hammerlands Railway West Line crossing. The river turned north at the ruined docks of Hammerlea and flowed along the shores of Vanaheim and Cibrel Mine. The Lethe's path transitioned through sub-tropical rainforest to colder climates in the north characterized by towering canyons and alpine forest, rushing beneath the Hammerlands Railway's North Line before emptying into the ocean at its northwestern mouth.
The river was presumably destroyed with the arrival of Nyx—the long foretold Eternal Night—on 7E:120.

=Behind the Scenes=
----
The following is out-of-universe information about the real world Dragonhollow.
In Greek mythology, the Lethe is one of five rivers of the underworld and is associated with forgetfulness.
Tox chose the name because it appeared on the last map before the server shut down and symbolized Dragonhollow slowly fading away. It also fit with existing lore, as he named the longest river of Hallowmere after another river of the underworld, the Acheron. It followed Acey's tradition of using Greek mythology for lore purposes.
The name was contrasted with Mnemosyne, the map he used to store historical builds, books and other data for Dragonhollow, because in mythology the [Mnemosyne] was a counterpart to Lethe and those who drank from her waters would remember everything and achieve omniscience.
