The River Qurveza's location on the eastern central coast of Lustria south of the Blood Swamps and near the temple-city of Axlotl.
The River Qurveza, also spelled River Qurvesa, is one of the great rivers of the New World continent of Lustria. Whilst it is dwarfed by the Amaxon, it is still a mighty waterway, wider and longer than any river of the Old World.[1a]
Between Cape Ruin and the mouth of the River Qurveza, the mouths of five smaller rivers pierce the jungle to empty into the Great Ocean, so evenly spaced from one another that some have speculated they were dug in some unknowable project of the Old Ones.[1b]
Around their mouths -- from north to south called the Xingo, Pacutl, Tieto, Aboxi, and Cahuatl -- sandy shores have pushed away the swamps and created beaches where shore parties can make their camps before striking inland.[1b]
The River Qurveza forms the heart of the so-called "Vampire Coast" region of northeastern Lustria. North of the mouth of the Qurveza is a stinking morass known as the Blood Swamps, while the south bend of the river forms the border of the Vampire Coast with the jungles of central Lustria.[1c]
The mouth of the River Qurveza forms the southern border of the Vampire Coast, the necromantic-corrupted region of Lustria extending inland from the sea, rising gradually through jungles until it reaches the crest of the Serra de Lágrimas highlands. Here it abruptly stops, blocked by the magical force of the Slann temple-cities and ruins that run the length of the mountain range -- from ancient Axlotl, through Itza, Quetza, Xlanhuapec, Tlanxla, and Huatl -- as well as the armies of their Skink servants.[1c]
