Atiris Stream

The Atiris Stream is a large river that spans from the south of the western part of the Ridgemar Wilds and then heads up to the northwest, past a volcano known as Mount Virder. Deep within its waters is a type of freshwater algae known as riverweed that is harvested for types of leather armor, some even enchanted with magick.

Geography

The river ebbs and flows through the forest, snaking around an inactive volcano, just on the outskirts of the forest. It runs over 200 feet deep and 125 feet wide.

Fauna & Flora

The river is known for its local fishing spots, where fishermen gather to catch the usual salmon, carp, and bass, but the elusive starry trout and ghost pike are a rare commodity. During spring and summer, bears and deer are an common sight as well, leading to huntsmen in the area trying to catch dinner.
  Rarely seen riverweed sharks take up hunting through the riverweed as starry trout are the main source of food, as well as the occasional humanoid that thinks the merfolk fruit is a profitable harvest. Most tourists believe the riverweed sharks to be a myth conjured up by the locals to deter them from "stealing" merfolk fruit.
  The most commonly found flora is riverweed with the merfolk fruit growing on it, yet there is also patches of rainbow coral that grow near the shoreline but remains hard to get to due to the bears that nest in the area during the warm seasons.

Natural Resources

The best resource that grows along the riverbed is riverweed, a type of algae that grows to be about 12 feet tall and 6 inches wide, and produces a small glowing fruit called merfolk fruit, which resembles a peach but with a thick peel. The merfolk fruit is considered a dangerous treat as it lures people in with the false hope of an easy harvest.
  Another important resource is an ore called copper. It is not produced in large quantities, but the ore deposits that exist are mined for use in refining metal for wires that help conduct electricity into La Fealia, the first city with light bulbs.

Wow the fruit seems really, but that might not outweigh that stormy weather. Great work my friend!
