[Riverfall Location] Valkalah's Tears

(This is a thread from Mizahar's fantasy role playing forums. Why don't you register today? This message is not shown when you are logged in. Come roleplay with us, it's fun!)

Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

[Riverfall Location] Valkalah's Tears

Valkalah's tears is a lava flow and waterfall in the city of Riverfall. It sets itself apart from the main falls that stem from the Bluevein as a distinctive feature of the city. While not as large as the Bluevein falls, Valkalah's tears is a lava flow, which lends it a certain beauty and attraction. The lava flow runs out from the city and onto a wide stretch of beach, where the water slides off the dark pillow lava and onto a stream on the beach. The end of the flow disappears into the tides, and only during the lowest of tides can one reach the end.

The flow runs down the length of the first and second tier and down the beach. Up on the second tier, near where the flow disappears into the cliffside, there is a platform erected for viewing the landscape. It provides an excellent view of the beach and sea, while the falls give the platform a certain charm suitable for romance. In fact Valkalah's Tears is often considered one of the more romantic locations of Rverfall, for those that desire it. Many a traveler has been enraptured by the sunset glistening off the Tears.

A common myth surrounding Valkalah's tears is one revolving the old city itself. Many speculate that the lava flow points to the location of the old city, and serves as a beacon for the Akalak to eventually find their old home. However, even more frequent are the rumors of how this flow came to be. There are no active volcanos near Riverfall, and while it is assumed the flow was created naturally during the Valterrian, there are some proponents of the former myth that believe it was created by a higher power.
