The Medestul
The river frontier between Revakgol and the Zegtuzsos clans in the Third Age, and the start line of the Great Wyrm War.
Character
Fordable at perhaps a dozen points in the dry season and at none in the wet. The Zegtuzsos watch-system at Vekh'Zural existed because of it: the river bought them the time to concentrate, and the fords told them where concentration would be needed.
Overview
A broad, slow river running west to east across northeastern Silgolt, forming the border the Empire of Revakgol crossed in 1269 AZN.
REVIEWER NOTE: canon says only that Revakgol 'crossed the Medestul's northern border'. This entity reads the Medestul as a river. It could equally be a province, a march, or a people, in which case this record should be withdrawn and the opening campaign restaged.
Role In The War
Crossed at night in 1269 by advance columns who burned the Vekh'Zural watch-line. Forced properly in 1270 at the shallows below the confluence, at the battle the Zegtuzsos call the Red Shallows.
