Ulvand River cuts a path through the Graenseskov ("Borderwood"), roaring down the Howling Hills and into Nova Vaasa, its source being the eastern flanks of Terestrãu ("Mount Sawtooth"). The Ivlis River is joined from the south by the Ulvand, a little south-east of Bergovitsa, along the Vaere Bange Road, ultimately draining into the the Nocturnal Sea halfway between Arbora and Egertus via the Storrokke Canyon.
Prior to spilling out onto the Vaasi Plateau, the Ulvand is far too steep for navigation of any sort. And soon enough it joins the Ivlis which is not itself navigable. Just before joining the Ivlis, the Ulvand is crossed by the Vaere Bange Road. Seasonally the Ulvand might be ford, but something better would be wanted for wagons in anycase. A stone bridge would be ideal as it could not easily be sabotaged.
The Ulvand is a critical source of water for crops, humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. Farmland stretches back from its banks from near the edge of the Graenseskov to its termination in the Ivlis river. Those farmsteds near the Graenseskov are fortified as well possible against wolves and worse things. The farms are taxed by the Rivtoffs.
