Double post because I'm a renegade now
And you better enjoy it 'cuz I've had to rewrite this crap like three times over the weekend
These are good articles to have but it's kind of hard to fill them with info without becoming too trivial. Here's what comes to mind: biology and uses. Does the river mark any borders? Is it used for irrigration or travel by boat? What kind of creatures can be found in or around it? That sort of thing.
But I think we're limiting ourselves here. Why only rivers? Why not lakes, seas or mountain ranges? those need names and articles just as well. And to give it a bit of a jump start, I'm making an article on Inealeth Reach
Inealeth Reach is the large mountain range between Avaren and the Empire.
==Geography==
As the second largest mountain range on Auralis Inealeth Reach has a quite large effect on everything around it. No less than seven of the greater rivers of Auralis find their origin in these mountains and it's sheer size has formed the natural border between the Imperial lands and Avarian Kingdoms since the dawn of history.
Even so, it is suprisingly friendly for a mountain range, especially on the western side. The wind from the sea brings clouds to the area, causing weir rain that makes Inealeth Reach a place that can simply be described as "wet." The rain erodes the mountains, fertilizes the soil and is the supplier of the hundreds of smaller and seven bigger rivers that sprout in the mountains. There are plenty of fertile valleys to be found in the outer area of the Reach, offering a home to thriving villages and small cities.
The inner ring is harsh, however. The gentle weir rains of the vales turn into lethal blizzards at the heart of the Reach, making the few passes between west and east that exist impassable during the colder months.
The Reach is rich in iron and other ore. Many people on both sides of the Reach mine for these precious metals and it is a major export product, especially on the Avarian side.
The peaks of the heart, being rough and edgey, have an avarage height around 4 kilometers. The dales go as deep as 1200 meter above sealevel, a few hundred meters below the tree line. As such there is little vegetation in the heart and avalanches are a common occurrence. The highest peak in the heart measures 4740 meters.
The vales are far more modest. The valleys between the mountains there are about 800 meters above sealevel with the peaks of the mountains reaching as far as 2,5 to 3 kilometers avarage, depending on the location.
==Etymology==
Originally the area was called Aquina Nealetha by the Old Race, Eyenera for wet rock. In time the name mutated into Aquinealeth Reach and later into Inealeth Reach.
==Flora and Fauna==
The vales of the Reach are fertile and teeming with life. Deciduous trees can be found in the warmer north, while the colder south is covered in coniferous forests. Both varieties come with a great variety of animals and plants.
The cold heart is a completely different matter. Only the hardiest and snow-proof animals and plants survive at its heights, the most peculiar of which being the Wyvern, the most famous member of the Herjonicjo (winged reptile) family, who prefer to build their nests around the edges of the inner ring and hunt in the outer.
==History==
Inealeth Reach has been a wedge between the peoples east and west of it for millennia and few attempt to cross its dangerous passes. Add the isolation between vales and you will find Inealeth Reach to be a place where nothing historic ever happens. It's just there. Even so, it has been one of the major reasons for the difference in culture between Avaren and the Empire.

I was, indeed, going for a young mountain range. Older formations are often eroded to a certain level of smoothness. Passes become easier to access, valleys are bigger, peaks aren't as high. All in all old mountain ranges do a poor job in isolating people from each other, so Inealeth Reach had no other option than to be a young range.
