![]() ![]() Rain Wild Traders discovered the buried Elderling city Frengong and built the new settlement of Trehaug above it. The area also experiences regular earthquakes, which have a pronounced effect on the river's flow and chemical composition. The river is prone to frequent, unpredictable flooding. Rain is nearly constant in the autumn and winter months. The spring and summer months are warm, but little sunlight reaches the ground through the canopy. Weather in the Rain Wilds is predictable. ![]() ![]() The Rain Wild River is the habitat for many kinds of fish, including flatfish and a red-bellied fish favored by dragons despite being poisonous to humans. Other noteworthy reptile species include the parasitic rasp snake and the venemous gallator. The magical influence of the dragons is still present in the Rain Wilds and can be seen in the humans who settle or are born there. The Rain Wild River is an essential part of the dragon life cycle, as it is the route by which serpents migrate to their cocooning grounds. Historically, the top species of the Rain Wilds is the dragon. A large number of mosses and vines grow in the Rain Wilds, including the floral skymaw and the edible bread leaf vine. A variety of grasses and reeds grow directly along the banks of the river. Despite the lack of sunlight, there exists a dense underbrush on the forest floor, making travel over land difficult. These trees form a dense canopy that prevents most sunlight from penetrating. The botany is dominated by trees, which are able to grow to immense size in the marshy soil along the riverbanks. Many of the creatures within The Rain Wilds are predatory, dangerous or parasitic. Many inland species have never been properly identified or recorded. The fauna and flora of The Rain Wilds is highly diverse and heterogenous. In the north, the Great Blue Lake is noticeably free of the high acidity of the Rain Wild River system, suggesting that the source of the acidity is from a downstream tributary. The Tarman expedition was the first to chart much of the Rain Wild River and surrounding land upstream of the settlement of Cassarick. Much of the inland Rain Wilds remained unmapped until the expedition of the Tarman, as the river's path frequently changes and the lack of arable land prevents settlement. The volcanic cataclysm that killed off both the dragons and the Elderlings also disrupted the flow of the river, leaving the shallower Rain Wild River behind and turning the land into marshes. Enormous Elderling cities played host to Dragons and the populace centered around the Serpent River. In ancient times the land was primarily rolling meadows of fertile ground, which hosted grain fields and well-tended livestock. ![]()
