Danger: Normal
Sub zones: Chordoni river
Inhabitants: naga, arboreal frogs, rock harpies, starkala bugs

The Chordoni waterfalls are situated in a thin band between the forest of whispers and deeper Felarya. Here the lush forest of whispers gives way to a damp network of thick, low vegetation, teeming with life. The sky is full of birds of every size and color, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of the many fruits that grow here.

The waterfalls themselves are huge, even for a naga. For a human, their size is incomprehensible. The water plunges from an enormous height and crashes in to the lake bellow, creating a perpetual light fog of droplets.

Their origin is an absolute mystery. The water seems to come directly from the rock but there is no nearby river, even underground, that anyone has been able to detect. Some scientists have theorized that the water actually comes from another world, through a portal encased in the stone.

The zone on the whole is less dangerous than many other areas of Felarya but it's still risky. The main danger comes from a giant naga called Vivian, who dwells here and loves to bath in the waterfalls. She is rather lazy but possess many means to lure her prey. A small colony of rock harpies live in the cliff as well.

Just next to the waterfalls is a natural gate leading to the dark depths of Evernight forest.

Chordoni river

Danger: Hazardous
Inhabitants: river mermaids, mermaids, fairies, water elementals, nagas, dryads, scarlet elves, harpies, demon harpies

The Chordoni waterfalls form a river flowing to a great lake and a beautiful beach. Unlike the relatively safe waterfalls, the beach is very dangerous. There are always a few giant hybrid females lying here, relaxing and enjoying the area, including some giant hybrids from the nearby and terrible jungle of perils. These races don't necessary get along very well but some unspoken agreement has made the beach a neutral ground, available for all to enjoy.

In the past, a protective enchantment was cast on the water of the entire river, rather similar to the enchantment cast on the Fairy pond but for very different reasons. The enchantment on the Chordoni river was cast in order to protect humans that often appear in the waterfalls. These curious robe wearing, shaved-head humans, seem to come from the same world than the water comes from. (For some reason, they believe they are in the after life when they arrive in Felarya)

The enchantment prevents them from drowning or killing themselves in the falls, and the strong current of the river carries them swiftly to the beach and its hungry occupants who are always up for a light snack after a good bath...
