The river and its many tributaries have flooded, overflowing the previously fertile meadows and ancient forests, which are now a poisonous boggy swamp. The deadly acidic waters have forced the Rain Wild people to rebuild their cities and towns into the upper branches of the ancient monolithic trees of the Rain Wild Forests.
