The Vainye descends from the Phalkrene heights, fed by mountain springs and perpetual mist-rain. Its waters run cold even in the tropical heat—cold enough that locals say the river remembers winter from somewhere else.
The Vainye flows past Pyonokraus before disappearing into the mountains' western slopes, eventually emerging to feed Thrallwood's swamps. Those who drink from it near the city report strange dreams: visions of a world with four suns, of beings with too many arms, of purposes that span centuries. Whether this is the titan's memory bleeding into the water or the Ayblek's alien influence remains unclear.
