The cold and deep River Dessarin flows
into the sea south of Waterdeep at
Zundbridge. Its waters are home to the
silver shalass, fish that are a delicacy
across the North. The Dessarin itself
rises in the Lost Mountains, isolated
peaks on the western High Forest. The
Dessarin is bridged at Zundbridge and
at The Stone Bridge farther north. It is
fordable at Ironford and Dead Horse
Ford east of Yartar.

The Dessarin is fed by many other
rivers and streams. Its network, which
includes the ?Laughingflow,? the icy
River Surbrin, and the River Rauvin, is
generally navigable through most of its
length. A small boat can take travelers
from the sea all the way to the icy falls
east of Dead Orc Pass. The Dessarin
itself can be negotiated to Dancing Falls
at the base of the Lost Peaks. The upper
reaches of the network form a vast,
open, grassy basin, rising in the east
into the Evermoors.
