The Drogach River in G'Henna
The Drogach River is the longest river in G'Henna.[1] It emerges from the Mists in the southeastern part of that land and wends its way northwest. It flows past the city of Zhukar[2] and through the Jackal's Run. In the northwestern corner of G'Henna, the Drogach passes by Dervich before joining with the Eel's Flow river. Where the two rivers flow together, a lake has formed.[1]
The Drogach River in Falkovnia
Prior to the Great Upheaval in 740 BC, the Drogach River flowed out of G'Henna and into Falkovnia, where it continued to follow the Darkonian border. It was joined by the Grashen River at Grashen Falls and eventually joined the Vuchar River.[3] The Drogach met the Vuchar within sight of the Sleeping Beast Mountains, very near to the point where the frontiers of Darkon, Falkovnia, and Lamordia meet.
However, during the Great Upheaval G'Henna vanished from the Core, leaving the Shadow Rift in its place. The volume of water flowing through the upper reaches of the Drogach River diminished to a mere tickle, and so most of the water reaching the Vuchar River now originates from the Grashen, not the Drogach.[3] 
The river was probably navigable from the Vuchar River to Grashen Falls before the Great Upheaval, and might still be after, albeit possibly in smaller craft. Stangengrad would be the principle port.

This section contains Questionably-canon info, from sources whose officialness is in question |
The Doomsday Gazetteer claims that the Drogach River once surged forth from springs in G'Henna, very close to the frontier with Darkon, and flowed west along the Darkonian border.[3] However, that claim appears to contradict other sources. It is possible that the author of the Gazetteer mistook the Eel's Flow for the Drogach.
