: I had always thought there were two explanations for the
: red water, one the tru7h, and the other a myth.
: 1. (Tru7h) Connacht melted the Trow's iron cities. Since
: then, the rust from these "Pools of Iron"
: has seeped into the water supply, turning all water in
: the vicinity red.
: 2. (Myth) When the Trow slaughtered the Oghre, so much
: blood was spilt on the plains of Avernus that it has
: never completely washed out of the water, forming
: lakes and "River[s] of Blood."
: When I say "Myth" I mean a myth that the
: inhabitants of Mythworld believe.
Isn't the water red in Myth the Wolf age too? I think its just that the Trow have so much iron and (are possibly made of iron) use it so much that iron got into all their water and rusted it up...
