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


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 tick, low vegetation, teeming of life. The sky is full of birds, of every size and every colors, and the air is saturated by the sweet aroma of the many fruits that grow here.

The waterfalls themselves are huge, even for a naga. For a human, their size can hardly be apprehended. The water plunges from an enormous height and crashes in the lake bellow, creating a perpetual thin 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 a detector could find... As some scientists theorized, the most likely cause is that the water actually comes from another world, through a portal incased in stone.

The zone in a whole is less dangerous than many other areas of Felarya but 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 preys. A small colony of rock harpies lives 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 forms a river flowing to a great lake and a beautiful beach. Contrary to the falls, the beach is very dangerous. There is always a few giant hybrid females lying here, relaxing and enjoying the area, including some from the nearby and terrible jungle of perils. These races don't necessary goes along very well but some unspoken agreement made the beach a neutral ground, available for all to enjoy.

In the past, a protective enchantment has been cast on the water of the whole river, rather similar to the one in fairy pond but for very different reasons : indeed the Chordoni river often carry curious head-shaved humans in robes, coming seemingly from the same world than the water ( For some reasons, they believe they are in 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 carry them swiftly to the beach and its hungry occupants who are always up for a light snack after a good bath...
