Yurondi

The River Yurondi is one of the four Great Rivers of Hutori, and the longest. It begins in Southern Adelia, just in the inlet.

It's mouth is unimpressive but once you get several miles in it becomes very beautiful, but also very dangerous. High winds and strong exotic currents plague the river. As such, it is the second most dangerous river in the Northern Hempisphere.

The River Yurondi is much much longer than the other Great Rivers, completely dwarfing the Colon. Measured fully, the River Yurondi weighs in at 502 miles long.

The ancient Mashacara originally called the river 'Byri' or 'Great'. But when they alledgedly saw a spirit rising from the river and declaring himself to be the demigod of air, Yurondi Farki, they changed it to Yurondi.

When Sir John Hutori came, the settlements along the river, including Tashracala, the Mashacaran capital were all destroyed and the land broken up into tiny fiefs. The river was used as a sewage dump until 1916 when an effort was made to clear it up.

Nowadays the Yurondi is a very exotic looking river and one of the most beautiful in the world. It, along with the other Great Rivers are listed as 'Oustanding Areas of Natural Beauty' by the government.

Mount Stampford, the mountain where the Earls of Joursen are christened can be seen from the River Yurondi. Mount Stampford (where the p isn't silent) is not to be confused with Mount Stamford, a completely different mountain in Adelia.
