The Wiþvada river is a major river in the north of Covtle and tributary of the Ecvri river. Forming the Wiþvada valley, it was historically an important method of transport in the north of Covtle. It remains a popular destination for pleasure boating and holidays.
Etymology and outflow controversy
In Adcovtle, there are two terms for rivers, voltum for rivers that flow into the ocean, and rivlé for rivers that flow into other rivers. The name Wiþvada likely comes from a shortening of the old Adcovtle Witsi bve la âte (modern adcovtle: Wiþi ve lata), meaning "From the Wiþi mountains to the water (ocean implied)." However, in Covtle today, the Wiþvada is generally considered to be a rivlé, because it flows into the Ecvri river. However, the city of Norbuj has historically taken the stance that it is a voltum, an argument continued today by the Adnorbuj family.
Course of the river
Wiþi springs to Tes lataðerþ
The Wiþvada river begins at Wiþi springs, located midway up Voðantle mountain in the Wiþi mountains. A small stream at first, it flows steeply downwards, passing over several small waterfalls. The river at this point is impassible, and not frequently seen by travellers. It leaves the forested slopes of the Wiþi mountains at Tes lataðerþ, where it spills over three taller waterfalls to begin a less steep descent towards the Ecvri.
Tes lataðerþ to Norbuj
After passing the small village of Tes lataðerþ, the Wiþvada river flows eastwards at a more gentle pace. This section of the river is passable, except for the falls just above Norbuj. It is generally not well travelled, and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Some of the notable wildlife along this section of the river are the lavia ad larivlé, a bird that often fishes in the river, the tablac nul, a small black bear, the japla an on nuðgli, a small and extremely common fish.
The falls above Norbuj are impassable, and are generally seen as the dividing marker between the Upper Wiþvada and the Lower Wiþvada. Following the falls, boat traffic increases heavily.
