The Kafizin River (pronounced cah-FEE-zin) is a major river in the Western Coast. The tributaries that feed the river begin in the Kheldezir Hills to the south, in the rough and arid terrain that separates the temperate Western Coast from the Sangora Desolation. The river then flows north and east into the Chaska Sea.
Melzi, Llynno, and Enoth are the largest settlements along the Kafizin River. Most of the lands through which the river passes have relatively low permanent populations, though several seasonally nomadic tribes of humans and gnolls regularly set up temporary settlements along the river's banks. Large groups of giants from the hilly south wander farther north up the river to a site near Arda-Mulissu at the beginning of every year as part of a religious pilgrimage - the smaller folk of the area view these events with trepidation, as despite being opportunities for trade the giants do have a habit of carelessly trampling crops and destroying docks and other infrastructure not built for their size.
