A tributary of the Honor River, branching northeast through Shorolyn Forest before joining the main watercourse. The creek drains the northeastern highlands and passes through terrain where the Temptari believe glimpses of the future can be found—for those foolish enough to seek them.
Course
Honor Creek splits from the Honor River roughly 20 miles east of Tarolin, flowing northeast through the edge of Shorolyn Forest before curving back to rejoin the main watershed. The total length is perhaps 40 miles—a modest waterway by Ve standards, but significant for the settlements along its banks.
The creek is shallow and fast-moving, tumbling over rocky beds in the higher stretches before slowing as it approaches the main river. Not navigable, but reliable for water supply and small-scale irrigation.
Settlements
Several towns cluster along Honor Creek:
- Civicvler: Near the creek's headwaters, in the Shorolyn Forest
- Sarihalliler: Downstream, where the terrain begins to level
- Kochisar: Near where the creek approaches the main Honor River system
These towns are small, dependent on forestry and the creek's water supply. Their priests maintain shrines warning visitors about the vision pools, and perhaps maintaining records of who goes looking for them.
Location
Honor Creek flows through northeastern Avalon, roughly 30 miles from the Dern border at its closest point.
