Hwanhir

The Hwanhir (S. "Sponge Stream") was one of the many tributary streams of the River Lefnui in Anfalas. Unlike the neighboring mountain vales whose streams fed the Lefnui, the topography of the Nan Hwanhir was less precipitous, causing its stream to meander and form a boggy expanse before it reached the larger river (hence its name). The wetlands of the Hwanhir were shallow and not dangerous to travelers, but crossing them could slow movement quite a bit. Otherwise fordable, the Hwanhir fen could not be crossed by horses without difficulty.
