River Reaching

The River Reaching, known to the ancient Netherese as the Bodensee River, was a river in the Western Heartlands of Faerûn
==Geography==
The River Reaching flowed from the northern Sunset Mountains, originating in Yellow Snake Pass, then passed by Mount Tiamat and cut through Skull Gorge on its way past the settlement of Hill's Edge. It skirted the east edge of the Trielta Hills and then entered the Reaching Woods, finally emerging to pour into the River Chionthar near Scornubel.
===Flora & Fauna===
The river was somewhat dangerous, due to being inhabited eel-fish known as lampreys. Such creatures fed on whatever was available to them, which included humans and cattle crossing the river. During springtime, they would come out of hibernation and search for food across the full length of the river. Thus, animals and humans rarely bathed or swam there.
A unique species of river eel that inhabited this body of water were known as dreels. They subsisted upon algae and carrion, which kept the river's waters both clean and clear.
