==== The Rivers ====

A large group of goddesses, originally from the [[Olympian]] pantheon, sometimes 
called [[wp>Oceanids]].  They are the daughters of [[wp>Oceanus|the Ocean]], and 
each is linked to a specific river somewhere on the [[twenty worlds]]. 
Traditionally, there are 3,000 sisters in this group, but some divine 
researchers have postulated that there are perhaps 3,000 per world -- meaning 
that the true number is closer to 60,000.

On the prime world, the Rivers were afforded a kind of exemption against "the 
concordant" that prevents divine beings from interfering with the affairs of 
mortals.  Since many of them live on the material worlds, intervention is 
unavoidable and expected.

The Rivers played an important role in [[Voyager]]'s conflict with the 
[[Shadowlord]].

Prominent "Rivers" are:
  * [[Matchitisiw]], the Rain Queen of the [[Lomasi]]
  * [[wp>eurynome_(oceanid)|Eurynome]]
  * [[wp>leuce_(mythology)|Leuce]]
  * [[Nephen]]
