Nanhe

Nanhe is the second river to be carved by Shengshi. Its name means "the south river". Unlike its sister river Beihe, it has yet to be sanctioned with anything beyond a name.
As the name implies, Nanhe is located on the southern half of the Dragon's Foot, running out of the never-emptying Giant's Bath. It stretches over twice as far as its sibling river, flowing a distance of over 4000 kilometres before reaching the continent's southern shore. During floods, the river turns into what can be perceived as a sea, extending its borders up to 100 kilometres at its widest, drowning any and all terrestrial life that finds it self in the unfortunate path of the destructive flood.

Upon seeing Nanhe, one would first find the river to be flanked by forests on all sides. Graced with life by Phystene herself upon its creation, the river water is both rich in vegetation and animals. The southern half of the river runs thick with fish, whereas the delta has a sizeable amphibian and bird population. The northern half of the river had life, but when Narzhak, king of strife and steel, created the crater to the south of the Giant's Bath, the sheer energy of the blast uprooted all the trees around and killed all life in the rivers.
In the Age of Lords, Shengshi finalised the ecosystem of the surrounding jungle by adding various species of insects, mollusks and arachnids, as well as panda-patterned gorillas, macaws, birds of paradise, anacondas, poison dart frogs, cane toads, tigers, elephants, water buffalo, mice, bats and rhinos.https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4953951 The jungle has been named 'Igbo ti Ejò' by the Pygmies, meaning "the jungle of the Snake". 
== Description ==
Nanhe, like its sister Beihe, is relatively calm; however, it is considerably less stable than its sibling to the north, on account of it having several tributaries, with more and more appearing as the forests around them grow. Furthermore, as its floods are much more destructive than Beihe's, Nanhe often readjusts its path during flood season.
The tributaries come from the constantly growing and shrinking lakes around in the forests. The only constant tributary is the river that flows from Xishan.
As the river is surrounded by life, the water takes on a brown colour from absorbing all sorts of detritus and waste. This, however, makes the river waters rich in nutrients, which further boosts the growth of surrounding vegetation. 
== Flood Patterns ==
While they are seemingly irregular, the river is more prone to flooding during the summer, as the constant tributary from the west then will fill up with ice water from the glaciers atop the mountain. Apart from that, the river itself is nearly impossible to predict, so it would be a lot wiser to settle by one of its tributaries instead.
