The Teft

• A river in Greater Sembara
  Located in the Teft Watershed, Greater Sembara

A swift-flowing, largely unnavigable river in the north of the Sembara. The Teft flows from the central foothills of the Sentinels, where a number of mountain streams (most notably the south-flowing Bērze and the north-flowing Vilna) join, south through the Great Chasm until it empties into the Western Gulf north of Embry.

The Teft has often been seen as a natural border and cultural divide, and has long divided the Heartlands of Sembara from the Northlands. Especially north of the Braebein it forms an unbridged and only occasionally crossed boundary between Breva and the wilder lands around the Great Chasm. In the ancient kestavan tradition, the Teft was the home of the children of Zeyfa and its waters were rarely trusted.
