The Hydra is a massive river system and sound in central Xen'drik that separates the Skyfall Peninsula from the larger continent. [1] [2]
Geography
With headwaters in the Fangs of Argarak and the mountain ranges that line the northern edge of the Valley of Shadows , the Hydra emerges from deep in the interior of Xen'drik. [1] [2] Its sources are known as the "heads" of the Hydra, for it has many tributaries. [2] [3] The eastern ones cause marshy terrain, but the largest passes over the Naga's Waterfall , all before the Sanctum Sanctorum of the green dragon Zartaxis , the Green Watcher. [3]
Activities
The mouth of the Hydra is easily reached by water taxis from Stormreach , where passengers, cargo, and crew transfer to or from the slow-moving river barges that traverse the waters of the Hydra. [4]
Notable Locations
The ancient ruins of Tharkgun Dahk and Pra'xirek have already been discovered near the heads of the Hydra. [1] [2] Explorers and adventurers continue searching within the Hydra basin for the Ring of Storms . [2]
History
A yuan-ti camp on the banks of the Hydra River was the site of a breeding colony for wretchlings , until recently when the shulassakar paladin Sesstaria ordered it destroyed. [5]
