So I've been hearing about that river in the highlands that keeps changing its course every season. Sounds like a real hazard for anyone on the road, but maybe it holds some secret about the people who live near it. Any idea if it's linked to an old tribe or a forgotten migration pattern?
Xylar: That river you’re talking about is the kind of place that keeps scholars guessing. In my field notes I’ve seen that its shifting path matches the seasonal flood cycles of the highland valleys, but also lines up with old migration routes the ancient “Rithu” tribe used to cross. The Rithu left a series of stone cairns along the former banks, and their pottery shards are still being found on the current riverbed. It’s likely that the river’s changes are not just a natural hazard but a living reminder of how those people adapted, moving their villages with the water’s rhythm. If you’re looking for a deeper story, that’s where you’ll start: follow the stone cairns and see how the river’s course is recorded in their burial customs.
