The Siltwake Reach is a wide river homeland of deltas, marsh-country, and the first dry hills beyond the watershed. It supports many towns, ports, reed villages, and terrace farms without ever settling into a single center. Life follows water levels, not borders, and travel often means drifting, poling, or marching along raised banks. The River Readers remain the dominant people, but many others have joined the current of the region.

Field Observations

Most routes follow water or raised embankments.,Floods can erase roads and rewrite maps overnight.,Shallow-draft boats are often faster than wagons.
