- "The Lencesk River is the Least Laudable landmark upon the land of Lencenor by a large lip. Its laughably limited length and lack of legitimate leverage over the locality all but ensures its eventual ebb into the expanse of esotericism."

The Lencesk River (Old Castanorian: West River) is a rather small and relatively insignificant river in the southwest of Lencenor. Its headwaters lies within the gentle rolling hills and plains of Greatfield, flowing west for a short time before emptying into the Westcoast. Upon its shores lies Castle known as Daroma's fort, along with the nearby town of Daromsfort, which takes its name from the castle. Despite the relatively flat and open nature of the region, the river does give it a significant defensive advantage. The river empties into the Westcoast at a city within a bay known simply as Lencesk, the city sharing the name with the river. While the river is navigable and the bay that the city of Lenscesk lies within does provide some safety for ships, it's often overshadowed by the nearby Westport; with its much better bay and the Middanroy's much more productive and extensive river system. The Lencesk river has neither the fertile soil and expansive vineyards of rivers like the Bloodwine, Sornroy, and Pearlywine; nor does it have the extensive breadbasket of rivers like the Middanroy. It's a relatively poor river, with most of its land being used for small farms and grazing cattle. In 1444 the river and surrounding area are held by the Duchy of Deranne, whose main use for the river is as a defensible border against the Lorentish holdings to the south of it.
