The River Thay
From Lake Thaylambar, the River Thay flows north toward
Surthay and Lake Mulsantir, marking the boundary between
the tharchs of Delhumide and Eltabbar. The vale of the Thay
is heavily populated, a fertile plain supporting vast orchards
of fruit trees more suited to cool weather than the citrus
groves of the south, such as apples and cherries. The river
itself is the principal highway to the northern marches of
Thay, and numerous keelboats and barges ply its waters, towed
by slave teams along the banks.
