The '''Ry'
==Etymology==
The name "Ry'DoAli" is [[Kerztian]] for "The Vein of Cursed Waters."{{book ref|ws|part=ars}} The river was given this name because Kerztians believe that so much water in one place is unholy, and they are typically wary of approaching it.{{book ref|ws|4}}
==Geography==
The Ry'DoAli flows south from the [[KraeDa]] mountains through the center of Lossand into the [[Border Ocean|Southern Border Ocean]].{{map ref|dayside|Taldain Dayside}}
Most of Lossand's territory is barren until you approach the river, since [[dorim vine]]s do not grow in the area's shallow sands. The river is the primary water source for Lossand, and it is only possible for society to exist near the river's banks.{{book ref|ws|4}}{{book ref|ws|ars}} Although the river enables agriculture, grain grown on its banks is "stunted" due to poor soil conditions.{{book ref|ws|ars}}
The capital of Lossand, [[Kezare]], is located on a pair of islands where the Ry'DoAli meets the [[Nor'Tallon River]].{{book ref|ws|part=ars}} Ferries are used to transport people and goods between the shore and the islands of Kezare.{{book ref|ws|4}}{{map ref|dayside|Taldain Dayside}} The city of [[Lraezare]] lies on the coast at the mouth of the river.{{book ref|ws|15}} The river is very wide and navigable by large ships, and smaller settlements can be seen along its length when sailing between Kezare and Lraezare.{{book ref|ws|15}}
