The Great Five-Tail River, sometimes referred to as the Great River, is a vast, murky, vein-like river stretching from the desert to an unnamed delta.

According to the history scrolls, the area is the most disputed piece of territory in all of Pyrrhia, as the SandWings and the SkyWings have fought over the land around the river for centuries. However, the area currently remains peaceful, as Queen Ruby and Queen Thorn are at peace.

Over the course of the War of SandWing Succession, small towns on either side merged together to form the single town of Possibility.

Description

The Great Five-Tail River is a vast green-blue-brown vein stretching from the desert to the delta. There is a SandWing settlement on the western side of a river that slowly merges with the SkyWing village on the eastern side. A wide, white stone bridge lined with shops is built across the river. There are islands in the river.
