Overview

The River Aurion is a river situated in the central plains of the continent of Areth. It is most prominently associated with the ancient city of Oretha Eternal, the seat of the Orethan Dominion, which was built along its banks.

History

According to A History of Rislandia, Oretha Eternal was "built on seven hills along the River Aurion in the central plains." The river thus served as a foundational geographic feature for one of the most significant civilizations in the recorded history of Areth. The Aurion Aqueduct bears the river's name, suggesting the waterway played a practical role in supplying or sustaining the city and its population during the era of the Orethan Dominion.

Beyond its association with Oretha Eternal, the broader history and course of the River Aurion are not detailed in currently available sources.
