The East Musarde River cuts innoculously across the Pommel of southern Nova Vaasa a little south of Arbora. The puzzle it poses is suggested by its name and by the direction in which it flows. The East Musarde flows west, not east, which is not to say that it flows out of, rather than into, the Nocturnal Sea. Before one reaches the river the sea has been replaced by a Misty Border. The river then flows out of the Mists in the east and back into the Mists in the West. As to its name, locals, backed by the Vistani, maintain that it is a "continuation" of the Musarde, the great river of the Western Core that emerges from the Misty Border of southwestern Hazlan. So the river that disappears into the Mists as the East Musarde reappears from the Mists as the Musarde.
Prior to the Great Upheaval in 740 BC, Mount Makab in Bluetspur was the source of a river that traversed the Nightmare Lands and subsequently may have become the East Musarde. Were this so, both Musarde rivers would have had at that time a shared source in Mount Makab.
