KHALA RIVER

     This waterway serves as a rough dividing line between the regions of Dyllaria and Emuria.  It origins can be found in the northwestern part of Dyllaria within the Green Mountains, and it flows southwesterly until it joins with the Stoneflood River southwest of the Emurian border.  The Khala is an important avenue of trade between Dyllaria and Emuria, and it is fully navigable from the time it emerges from the Green Mountains until it joins with the Gandiel River.  The Free City of Freeport rests along this river in southern Emuria, at the intersection of the Karani Plains, Forest of Myst, and the Sha-Raad Steppe.  This location places the city at the center point for much of the trade that takes place in southern Emuria, and has made Freeport a rather important stopping point for travelers.  The Karani Barbarians and Tarandok Drae of Emuria attack the barges and trade caravans that travel along this waterway, while various creatures from the Forest of Myst and Wincrag Mountains plague travel along the southern reaches of the Khala.  The Khala and Stoneflood Rivers join together south of the Emurian border and flow together on to the sea.
