 The '''Qestarius River''' is well-known as the major tributary to [[Dagger Seas|Marty]] and as a northern border to the [[Plain of Brahang]], but is often sidestepped in conversation because of the "eerieness" and "deathly still" attributed to it. This unease is chiefly traced to its northern passing through the land of [[Alezan]], its link with the mysterious disappearances in the Vale of Serdoch, and a number of other disturbing traits discovered over its lifetime.
-Back in -500 [[EC]], when the river meandered further south than it does today, it didn't carry as much negative connotation. Thungerbarg, now [[Iganefta]]-on-the-Sea, fished the river's nearby waters as well as the those of the [[Dagger Seas|Dagger Sea]] it empties into. The river's calm movement powered waterwheels, arching trees provided springboards for excited and sweaty children, and rafts were used to quickly move supplies between the now-abandoned villages that sprouted along its edges.

 In -446 [[EC]], elders from the neighboring fishing villages of [[Shepenor]] and Thungerbarg met to discuss the taste of fish harvested from the river. After thirty minutes of deliberation, along with taste tests from dishes prepared by their finest cooks, both villages agreed that not only was the river changing, but also the river's inhabitants. Although the village of [[Shepenor]] didn't much like the increased traffic and competiton, both villages agreed that it'd be in Thungerbarg's best interest to harvest fish only from the [[Dagger Seas|Marty]] sea.
-Nearly a century and a half after the [[Looliers]] disappearance at the Vale of Serdoch, [[Lord Glosfordshier]] started transforming Thungerbarg into [[Iganefta]]-on-the-Sea. One of his first declarations was that a dam be built to block river inhabitants from entering [[Dagger Seas|Marty]]. This was decided after his first "resort" meal of contaminated fish, which disgruntled cooks fed him as payback for taking over and changing their lifestyles. Disgusted with the taste and fearful that crossbreeding would affect quality [[Dagger Seas|Marty]] fish, he proclaimed the dam a "savior of Marty by Glosfordshire", ensuring its waters would be untouched by riverlife. The clogged dam filters are regularly cleaned by [[EctoMechanauts]], though where they dispose of the filth is currently classified.

 Nowadays, the Qestarius River has receded even further, petering off somewhere in the northern part of the valley that Odlucia and the [[Odlucian Library]] share. Generally, the feeling towards the river is a "hopeful respect" - nature will take its course (later rather than sooner) and the river will continue to dry itself into innocence (or, at the very least, obscurity). It is still blamed for continued corruption, however, from bad crops to mysterious smells and even as far as the root cause for [[Harv Gretborn]]'s infamous character (something about improper and experimental [[toilet training]] in the river).
