Wyrmsgráf River

The Wyrmsgráf River, or Drekvath, is a river in Rhovanion. It flows the western Grey Mountains from near the caves of Wyrmsgráf, heading south towards through eastern Elderslade and down a great fall into the Wells of Langflood where it becomes one of the rivers that form the Anduin after first joining with the Langwell.
