Hidesh River

The Hidesh River, from ??? ???, ultimately from Proto-Hiereti hiḏzez, cognate with Alatazem hiṯziz, Yilireti yidhiveth and Iḥaṱazzen kizez, all meaning wide river, was the largest river in Hieret and one of the most important waterways of Deinazephanais. Although in its more modern history the river had become less important in the world, it had served as a vital passage for trade during the time of the Ateter Kingdom and beyond. Even after its decline, over four thousand ships passed through the river annually, until the advent of space travel reduced its importance even further. Control over the river had been exerted countless times throughout history, by a number of empires and states.
