River Thazarim

The River Thazarim is a river in the country of Thay.

In the days of Mulhorand's rule of this area, this river, between the falls where it comes off the Sunrise Escarpment to the falls from it tumbles off the First Escarpment, was the core of a fertile farming area. Slave farms still populate the western bank of the river; but the eastern bank is devastated and abandoned, still desolate after the battles that created Thay as a separate nation.

The river itself is used as a travelway along its length betwen the Escarpments, but the steep falls at each end of this length make boat travel impossible without portaging the river craft. The lower reaches of the river support some slave farms on the west bank and continue the devastated state on the eastern bank. Upstream, the river is narrow, fast, and rocky - impossible to travel on muscle-powered boats. The area upstream is largely unpopulated except for trading posts and small villages situated on the Sunrise Escarpment above the falls.
