Is there some River trope I am missing?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kali:
Sorry, to me it just looks like two small rivers that come together to form a larger river, and that flows into the Bite.  Not every river has to start in the mountains.  The Mississippi, for instance (as Meg pointed out), starts at a lake.  It could be that if you could zoom into that fork, you'd find a network of smaller feeder rivers that all happen to flow into those two smaller rivers.  Or maybe there's a huge underground lake that happens to surface there.

jeno:
Or it's a mistake.  :D

Starbeam:
My guess is that it looks like it's going inland because there's no terrain drawn in that area, kinda like the one in the upper left corner.  But unless it's stated otherwise in the text, which I don't remember ever being the case, I'm pretty sure the rivers follow the normal course of flowing toward the larger body of water.

You're misreading the map.  I've just been rereading that series, and it's very clear in the text that the rivers flow down to the sea.

Good to know. It has been bugging me for a while which way it was flowing.
