The River Chionthar was a large river that ran through the Western Heartlands. The river started high up in the Far Hills and flowed west into the Trackless Sea on the Sword Coast.[1]
Tributaries[]
Settlements on the river[]
- Baldur's Gate,[3] which stood around the estuary of the river, granting a tidal nature to its harbor.[4]
- Anga Vled
- Berdusk[3]
- Elturel[3]
- Iriaebor[3]
- Scornubel[3]
- Ulgoth's Beard
- Reithwin
Trade[]
Much trade flowed up and down this waterway, with barges traveling as far inland as Iriaebor.[3]
The river's estuary in Baldur's Gate was crossed on a daily basis by many ferries and barges, particularly before its Upper City expanded and bridges were built.[4]
