Aursen
- A river in the Istaros Watershed
The Aursen starts in the foothills of the Sentinel Range, fed by snowmelt as it rushes to the flat highland basin on the Aurbez Plateau, where it slows and meanders for 20 miles across marshy terrain before dropping in a series of large waterfalls off the plateau, to lower ground. This land around the upper Aursen is marshy and productive, although hard to farm. A small lizardfolk community has lived here since time immemorial, and they are much honored for the welcome and shelter they gave to the first refugees.
