“As you fly, wave to the lands along the south fork of the Deathbend River. The parshmen may have conquered them by now, but they actually belong to you. ”
—Dalinar to Kaladin[1]
The Deathbend River is a river in southern Alethkar.[2] It runs through the Eastern Crownlands and flows into the Mevan Bay. It is one of the most consistent rivers on Roshar and does not dry up, even during the Midpeace. It is on a good caravan route.[1]

There are six or seven villages along its southern fork including one town of note.[1]
Gavilar and Dalinar Kholin were exploring a tributary of the Deathbend when they discovered the listeners.[3]
As a Shardbearer of the fourth dahn Kaladin rules a section of land along the south fork of the river. Dalinar and Elhokar chose to give that plot for him since its local brightlord had died causing the land to revert to the crown.[1]
