The Blackwater Rush, or simply the Blackwater, is the river that gives the region and the bay its name. Wild, treacherous, and powerful, the river is rich with minerals and occasionally floods in warm summers, dumping the low-lying farms and banks with rich black loamy residue upturned by the rush of violent, churning water, hence the name. The lands around the river are fertile and well-suited for crops, making them prime targets for settlement. Many [[First Men|First Man]] houses have found their home here, while Andal adventurers see a wealth of good land to take for their own. | The Blackwater Rush, or simply the Blackwater, is the river that gives the region and the bay its name.
