The Minka River (pronounced MIN-kah) is a major river in Rothurland. Beginning in the Ialgrike Peaks, the river then flows south and west into the Eyjara Bay.
The lands around the Minka River, though long renowned as the site of legendary hunts, is exceptionally rocky and poorly suited to agriculture, and few large, permanent settlements have grown up along the river as a result. The notable exceptions are Svarheim, at the river's mouth, and Anvil Rock upriver closer to the mountains.
