 ==== The Rivers ====
-//Eventually this page will refer to the group of goddesses who govern the rivers of the [[twenty worlds]].
+A large group of goddesses, originally from the [[Olympian]] pantheon, sometimes
-For now, it's just a link to pics for THF.//
+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.
-There are three maps included below:
+On the prime world, the Rivers were afforded a kind of exemption against "the
-  * "Eastern Continent"
+concordant" that prevents divine beings from interfering with the affairs of
-  * North shore of the "Main Continent"
+mortals.  Since many of them live on the material worlds, intervention is
-  * "The Southlands" -- south-east corner of "Main Continent"
+unavoidable and expected.
-The top two maps were originally done in pencil - so the rivers and roads look mostly the same.  You should be able to tell by context which is which.
+The Rivers played an important role in [[Voyager]]'s conflict with the
+[[Shadowlord]].
-The bottom map was fixed on the computer, so the rivers are noticeable.
+Prominent "Rivers" are:
+  * [[Matchitisiw]], the Rain Queen of the [[Lomasi]]
-I'll get some more pics up later.
