<description>Subtle light gleams from bronze lanterns hung from a couple of tall poles, leaving shadows along a wood pier that juts off from the hard packed ground. The pier provides a sturdy transition from road to river conveyance, with its beams wide enough for large beasts to go safely aboard. The river's brisk waters beat against the rocks below with a wild rhythm, while a sign nearby warns of their danger.</description>
<description>Waiting for a skiff is made interesting by an intriguing placement of rocks. Though many try to climb down to decipher them, they are warned off by a large, brooding Gor'Tog. A dark wood pier juts off from the hard packed ground.</description>

<description>A fine mist of water floats above the Segoltha as the river crashes into a cluster of towering boulders and cleaves to flow in two branches around the island. The surface of the road is damp and the air reverberates with the constant thunder of the battle between Segoltha water and Ain Ghazal rock. A low wall borders the outside edge of the River Road and the Spiral Road branches upward to the southeast, heading toward the chateau at its apex. A moist cliff also leads uphill.</description>

<description>The north fork of the Segoltha River dashes past, freshening the air with a hint of water. The roar of the river is inescapable as it echoes in the relatively narrow space between the soaring heights of the Journalai Range to the north and the mass of Ain Ghazal to the south.

<description>The northern and southern branches of the Segoltha River merge once more into a single flow surging eastward. A steep slope leads down to the River Road at its intersection with the East Pier. Around the pier, a protective breakwater has been constructed from carefully fitted rock to create a safe harbor for the Elven skiffs and the private boats. A sheer cliff leads upward.</description>

<description>The north fork of the Segoltha River races eastward, hurrying toward a reunion with its recently separated southern twin. The northern shore across from Ain Ghazal rises steeply from the water's edge, forming the base of the lofty Journalai Range. Overhead is a perpendicular escarpment that appears difficult to climb, and a sheer cliff below would lead adventurous climbers down to the River Road.</description>

<description>The heaving swell of the Segoltha River is split into two flows by an array of gargantuan boulders at the western edge of the island. Great fan-shaped geysers of water erupt around the boulders, creating a roar reminiscent of a powerful waterfall.

<description>A peach tree grove guards the bluff where the Segoltha River crashes against the island's huge boulders, creating magnificent sprays of water that blow across the landscape like clouds across the sky. Scattered lawn chairs and lounges offer the opportunity to relax, and a table with an enormous attached umbrella is available for those who might wish to gather and converse.</description>

<description>Rolling mountain ranges unfold darkly to the south. Some twinkling lights, probably traffic along the Haalikshal Highway and the city of Hibarnhvidar, are visible upriver to the west. A stand of pear trees lines the bluff, and some chairs are arranged near a table fastened with a huge umbrella.</description>
