Temaba

Temaba is a large river in central Aradór, flowing through the province of East Plain in the geographical region of the Dry Plain. It flows in an almost perfect north-south direction. The river is an important source of water for irrigation in the extensively cultivated agricultural regions surrounding it, as well as an essential route of transport for people and goods from the Bay of Thrig to the northern inland and foothills of the Nelean Highland.

The main right bank tributary of Temaba is Dzumring, but the largest left bank tributary is the significantly smaller Mesa.

Settlements
Temaba has a number of important cities and towns, as well as innumerable smaller villages, along its cost. These include, but are not limited to:
 * Nuvöto, the most populous city on Temaba, administrative centre of the province of the East Plain and historical seat of the House of Vannata;
 * Nonde, a historical centre of commerce located on the confluence of Temaba and Dzumring;
 * Pańezu, a medium-sized town on the confluence of Temaba and Mesa;
 * Falante, located north of Nuvöto;
 * Vaśtaba, a medium-sized town north of Pańezu, famous for being a centre of olive cultivation and the historical focal point of the agricultural Cult of the Black Eye;
 * Minayna, a typical northern plain farmer town, on the edge of the Dry Belt.

Significance
Temaba provides the principle source of irrigation water for the central East Plain; consequently, the rivers importance to the local agrarian societies cannot be overstated. It was the lifeblood of the early Arazi city-states in the region, such as Nuvöto itself and the now nearly forgotten Perife. During the Kingdom of Araero and onwards, the river served as an important waterway for transport of goods and people and a central tool to create a cohesive Arazi society, much the same way as Eduin did for eastern Aradór and northern provinces of the later Asatic Empire

The river appears in several Arazi myths and is mentioned in the Holy Book of Aras, as well as is the topic is many poems and literary works, particularly by the late Asàelese poet Raimane Filli and the famous Arazi playwright Tserne Haràn.

The image of the river appears in most of the coat of arms for the cities on its coast as well as the banners of the historical houses of Vannata, Taśaya and Gołe.
