The Mourning Widow

The Mourning Widow is a relatively new feature on the face of Lower La Noscea. The area was once a calm river that merged peacefully into the Strait of Merlthor; however, the Calamity sheared away much of the coastline, creating a cliff.

The Mourning Widow is now a small waterfall, plummeting over the edge of the earth into the sea; but as its flow is still gentle and low, it can sometimes appear to be only droplets falling to the waves below. The locals have dubbed it accordingly, likening the drops to the tears of those bereaved by the Calamity. The name also refers to the river as it emerges from a tunnel through the rock face as well; and in recent years, it has become periodically infested with Cieldalaes cane toads. These toads are the result of attempts by local farmers to employ natural pest control against the locusts that were consuming their wheat crops. This backfired spectacularly when the cane toads, without natural predators, began to multiply out of control; the Yellowjackets now must occasionally call upon adventurers to help them cull these invasive wavekin.

This river is the exclusive home of the rare and hard-to-catch Caterwauler catfish.
