Phrixus

Also known as just the River, Phrixus is the formal name for the great river that splits the Warring Continent into it's eastern and western halves. It runs from south to north, beginning somewhere within the Athama mountain range or Beyond and emptying into the Nephele Sea.

History
Though unusable by Divines it is a major route for commerce. It also tends to pen the major divines into their halves of the continent. A few minor Divines in years past have forded it at the shallower area between Dusk and Dawn without major incident. Nearly 400 years ago Divine Marja Yellowbloom constructed an earthen dam/bridge to get across and, although successful in her initial crossing, flooded fields and towns on both sides, caused several hundred deaths and a season-long famine, and the dam was swept away in the next spring's snow melt.
