Elwynn (disambiguation)

The Elwynn River runs through east Benacia, and is the most prominent geographical feature of the Republic of Shireroth.

Elwynn was probably named after a river in Warcraft, although the Shirerithians are embarrassed about this and try to hide it. It existed since the first MCS Maps in 2001, and the Shirerithian Duchy of Elwynn is named after it. The Treesian goddess Elwynn was also named after the river.

The Elwynn begins as two large rivers, the East Elwynn and West Elwynn, both of which have their source in the Elirian Mountains. These two tributaries join at Shirekeep, from which the Elwynn proper runs through Shireroth's most important lands until it reaches the sea in a marshy delta near Musica. The Elwynn is currently dammed in a few locations, most importantly the East Elwynn Sluice in Zjandaria. This sluice provides significant power to Shireroth, but its control is fragile: during the War of the Sightseers, a well-placed bomb on the Sluice flooded parts of Brookshire and Goldshire.
