River Kneck

The Kneck, also known as the Amurrhine, is a major river in Mediterrae.

Geography
The Kneck runs from its sources (one being a tributary) in the Inutilio-Borogravian or Transmediterranean mountains to its mouth in the Bay of Eleutheria. It passes through Borogravia, the People's Republic of the Amurrhine, and Eleutheria. It forms a very large floodplain as it passes through Borogravia and the PRA. It then splits, forming a delta as it drains into the Bay. Both the plains and the delta are very fertile. It is thought that the Bay of Eleutheria was originally a plain watered by the Kneck and an Aliturian river, but flooded during the last ice age; this is confirmed by fossils found by the Royal Zoological Society.

Society
With runoff picked up all the way from its sources in the Transhomaric Mountains, the Kneck river basin is extremely fertile and provides the majority of Borogravia's and the PRA's food, as well as, worldwide, 43% of all beets and root vegetables. It provided much of the Empire's food.
