Ajat

Ajat is a river flowing from the Grey Mountains straight to the West Sea in Amurón, through the desert. It has a lot of waters and it's at least as wide as Eduin is at it's widest.

The annual floods of this river keep the valley fertile and is the main reason for the thriving agricultural society of Amurón. Major cities on the banks of Ajat are Sulūm and Athūj, both prospering from agriculture, fishery and trade.

Ajat in History
Circa 1700, lord Baqaf the Fast, during the siege of Sulūm, was shot by a traitor in the throat. He fell in Ajat and was washed ashore three days later in his home tome, Hatūb. Having lost their leader, Baqaf's army fell apart and the siege was broken, thus marking the failure of the first attempt to unify Amurón.

Ajat in Mythology
A Moroyan myth tells that in ancient times Ghanat, the Demiurg God, pierced his finger on the peak of Mount Awīr. A single drop of blood landed at the feet of the mountain and became the source of Ajat.
