Vosk and Thassa-Cartius River Area
|
The Vosk is a mighty river which flows westward, emptying into
a vast rence delta, finding its way eventually to Thassa, the sea
... On river barges, for hundreds of pasangs, I had made my way down
the Vosk, but where the mighty Vosk began to break apart and spread
into its hundreds of shallow, constantly shifting channels, becoming
lost in the vast tidal marshes of its delta, moving toward gleaming
Thassa, the Sea, I had abandoned the barges, purchasing from rence
growers on the eastern periphery of the delta supplies and the small
rush craft which I now propelled through the rushes and sedge, the
wild rence plants. The actual source of the tributary to the Vosk, now called the
Thassa Cartius, as you know, was found five years later by the explorer,
Ramus of Tabor, who, with a small expedition, over a period of nine
months, fought and bartered his way through the river tribes, beyond
the six cataracts, to the Ven highlands. The Thassa Cartius, with
its own tributaries, drains the highlands and the descending plains. |
