Hanoth

The Hanoth (Trellinese: "Wide river") is the fourth longest river in Trellin and the longest in Namija. The river rises in the mountains along the Ja'ekhan border with the Dangish Empire and flows 482.3 kilometres before entering the Bay of Pedalin below Cavari on the Sea of Velar.

Course

The Hanoth has its source in the Vekra Laikirzh of eastern Ja'ekha, where it is only a small stream before it is joined by several others from the same aquifer. After 107 kilometres it reaches Namija, whose northern border it forms a part of for 32 kilometres. Along this stretch it briefly divides into two channels around the Sirhyi, the Spear Rock. Over the next 65 kilometres it is joined by a number of tributaries, of which the largest is the Eskautha, also the largest tributary overall, on the left.

By this point the Hanoth is one of the widest rivers in Trellin, with its biannual floods inundating huge tracts of rainforest on either side. It soon enters a region of permanent swamp and wetland, the Qeqsaraken, which gives way to Lake Revuniq which, with a minimum surface area of 281 square kilometres, is the second largest lake in Trellin.

The river is joined by four more main tributaries before it reaches Cavari and enters the final stages of its journey to the sea. Cavari is built on the head of the long Hanoth delta, where the river splits into two main channels. The north channel, by far the larger, splits once again after 10 more kilometres and then enters the sea.
