The Esdekhel River is one of the great rivers of the old world that passes westwards from eastern Sahimb through the dry land of Hœrnect and empties into the Titans Sea. It is part of the vast Esdekhel River Drainage Basin and owes its source to the lake known as the Nursemaid of the Esdekhel which rests on the northwestern edge of the Plateau of Tjur in eastern Sahimb. The river is essential to the economy and culture of Hœrnct. The personified deification of the river is known as Isdekhel.

Isdekhel

The numinous river divinity of the Esdekhel is known as Isdekhel. The deity is an important member of the Hœrnectian Pantheon. As the river drains into the western sea, it is thought to be passing into the land or realm of the dead and is used to bury certain persons at sea in funerary barges. The lake, the Nursemaid of the Esdekhel is also endowed by the gods with special powers as this lake renews the river in large measure.
