Mkuai River

The Mkuai River is the longest river, and the largest water formation on Elrun, beginning as an estuary linked to the Alokha Ocean, and continuing inland to the Valley-Lake.

Serving as the bridge between the Five Tribes of Mkuai, the River is one of the only sections of undisputed territory on the planet, as the River's inherent ties to the ever-ancient Oumalo render the area geographically apolitical and sacrosanct.

Before The Five Tribes
Long before the Five Tribes of Mkuai came to settle the arid deserts and lush jungles that surrounded the River, the Oumalo was built in the heart of the Valley-Lake by The Old Ones at an indeterminate time before The Vanishing.

In the aftermath of The Vanishing, the Oumalo remained standing in the Valley-Lake, continuing to spring forward new life into the waters of the Mkuai River.
