The Yarden River Valley (Hebrew: עֵמֶק הַיַרְדֵּן, Emek HaYarden; Sydalene: ???; Latin: Cultivida), alternately referred to as the Yarden Valley, is the drainage basin of the Yarden River in Northwest Scipia. The Valley begins around the watershed of the Kinneres Sea (the headwaters of the Yarden River) and follows the course of the river until its end in the Great Salt Sea. The Yarden Valley, as defined by the reach of the flooding of river-water and branching off tributaries, encompasses an area approximately 72,416 km sq. The Yarden River, the source and central feature of the Valley, marks the border between Sydalon and Yisrael. Due to religious, national, historical, geostrategic, and agricultural significance and concerns, the Yarden River Valley has been the major factor between the West Scipian Wars and the West Scipian Cold War between Yisrael and Sydalon. The 1973 Yarden Accords formally divided the Yarden Valley between the two powers along the course of the Yarden River under international customary law.
