The Oslira River and its tributaries in Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind.
The Oslira River is a great river that starts far up north, under the glacier in the Dara Happa empire. It is a difficult river to magically tame and it counts the significantly less fierce Forantin and Black Eel rivers among its tributaries. In many ways the Oslira and Black Eel rivers serve as a border between the more solar-worshipping cultures—like the Riders, Wheels, Dara Happans, and Ergeshites—to the north of them and the storm-worshipping peoples—like the Kestaytelli and the Southern Ram Kingdoms—to the south.
Oslira is also known as Shargash's River Wife, and the city of Alkoth lies along the river, in the far northwest under the glacier.
Ride Like the Wind[]
Because of its importance, the Oslira is one of the few features to be sketched in on the unexplored map.
The Oslira starts untamed in Ride Like the Wind. In order to safely cross the river, it is necessary to perform the Taming the River ritual.
Lights Going Out[]
In Lights Going Out, the Oslira starts tamed and can safely be crossed. However, it can become untamed again through the random event Unruly River. If so, it is necessary to perform Taming the River to safely cross it again, like in the first game.
