it helps! character, and more importantly, its own head of
fish.
The fish seem to be trapped within each pool
until the next flood, but actually they are masters
at navigating their way through the rocks and
pass through the swift water with ease, and so

The river is generally shallow and is strewn with
boulders of all shapes and sizes; small rapids

staircase lazily laid out along the river, each step
down creates a pool of different dimensions,
some small like half an acre, some bigger maybe
