Lixuo River

The Lixuo River is one of the biggest rivers in East Artopa. From its source in the northern Zaian hills, it flows first north, then west, marking Zao's northern border. It then goes south, where it is the main water source for some of Zao's biggest cities, including Minunkai, Bei, Xhonghi, and many others. In the Zaian town of Sanhé, between Bei and Xhonghi, the Lixuo splits in half. The western half flows towards Xhonghi, where it separates again and again, passing through Ki-Lipin, Chingi, and Janjong. The Eastern half of the river flows towards the port of Jiuli. All these branches of the Lixuo flow into the Lixuo Delta, in the very north of the Rhoddic Ocean.

This river was home to one of the first human civilizations, and to the early Zaian dynasties. Today, it's still of utmost importance to Zao, being the primary axis of transportation and the main source of water.
