Black Adder River

The Black Adder River, counterpart to the Atheris River, was created by the Druids of Immer Grove nine centuries ago to stop The Withering from destroying the entirety of their home, the Immer Valley Forest. Starting at Gray Falls, the Black Adder River meets the Atheris River at Serpent's Tongue.

While the Atheris River's water is unusable and corrupted, it appears darkened and unhealthy. The Black Adder River, on the other hand, looks downright evil; black and opaque, the water is obviously unfit for any use at all, save the one use it is already tasked with: stopping The Withering from spreading. This black corruption is removed by the Serpent's Head, the monolith within Serpent's Tongue.

The Druids of Immer Grove ensure no one ventures past the river itself. The lands beyond, The Dark-Toughed Lands, are an inhospitable and blackened desert. The view across the river is one of the few ways to see what he druids truly protect the rest of the land from. On one side, vibrant and green life flourishes and dominates the world; on the other, nothing but black sand.
