Death Canyon River (Arodjun: Kakxijetwif) is a river in the western Fwonnel Peninsula that drains into the ocean at the peninsula's northwest corner. The river carries a high volume of water, being the exit point for the majority of the water springing from the Great Geyser Lake.
As the name may suggests, about 20 miles from the Death Canyon Delta there is a large stretch of steeply-sloped rapids that make the river completely non-navigable in the upstream direction.
Since 1934AR, the river has been used to transport people and goods in a dangerous, annual downstream migration of Pups to the Delta. This tradition is called the Ick Evacuation. The dangerous journey was long justified as the quickest path from Roox City to a region largely safe from the Ick. However, this gradually became an ativity that only the wealthy participated in while regular citizens stocked supplies and remained underground for nearly two months each year. Finally, by the time the city of Sarbisi came into fruition in the late 2020s, the practice of Ick Evacuation became more of a sporting and adventuring activity for the wealthy than one done for sheer survival.
