This raging torrent is one of the major natural landmarks of Wildmane Gorge. The name refers to a battle fought by the original settlers, who destroyed a Beastherd on the banks of the river. So many beasts were slain and washed downriver that fishermen were collecting their skulls for years afterwards.

The crowd roared, and she was swept up in a flood of bodies.’
