DeVillars Creek was a small waterway that ran across the city of Ravens Bluff, connecting Lake Christina on the northern edge of the city with its inner harbor at the Crow's End District.[1]
Description[]
DeVillars Creek was named after the Living City's prominent and old DeVillars family that resided there for over ten generations by the late 14th century DR.[2] The waterway stretched from Clearwater Harbor's northern end and was crossed by seven bridges. These bridges were: Omphrel's Span on Raven Way, Flaernar's Bridge on Griffon Trail, the Hawk Bridge on Hawk's Passage, the Old Dragonbridge (or Landelo Bridge) on Fireleap Lane, the New Dragonbridge on Amandagar Street, a bridge on Turnhelm Street, and lastly the Stoneknights Bridge on Flayern Way. Several minor streets also came to an end at DeVillars Creek, Cylyrta Street East was one of them.[1]
