Ikorbân

The Ikorbân ("Reedflood" in Shagâni) is a river in Haradwaith. It flows west from the deserts of Shagâna and forms its own green valley where plants are nourished from its waters. The river twists and turns through the arid landscape of the Valley of Ikorbân, running south of Urash Dâr and Ambarûl, and north of Khûd Zagin and Imhûlar. It eventually enters the lands of Umbar as it heads towards the ocean.

The river forms a natural barrier between the northern and southern parts of Umbar, forming the marshlands of Ilmakhâsh. The river then enters the Bay of Umbar at the start of the Cape of Umbar, creating a mix of fresh and salt water around Umbar Baharbêl, which creates ample fishing opportunities.
