    Default The river shibboleth

    Here's my entry for this: an atlas-style map concerned with the great river Shibboleth. An excerpt from my notes reveals a bit more of its history and the myth surrounding it:

     
    3. River flowing west and north across most of the northern Sammaean continent and the Kharkharadntid badlands, including the lands of Æthios, Lidea, N’rach, Paraiya and Mharokk, and serves as a border, of sorts, between civilised lands and the Penumbrally tainted region of the Umbra Solare.
    The river’s main course flows for some 4,500-miles before emptying in the Sea of Mharka.
    Though it shares a name with one of the Two-and-Twenty Demiurges, it is unknown if the two are linked in any way, though in the ancient myth of Æthiosi nomads, the river was created by the tears of Teroth (daughter of the Demiurge Neith) after she was raped by Volupis (son of the Demiurge Serapis).
