Come take a stroll along the bank with me, as we explore today’s ConWorkShop theme which is Along the river. Rivers have traditionally provided the lifeblood of Rireinu civilisation, since much of their time and effort has been expended in growing rai, that grain that forms the basis of Rireinukave diet. Most varieties of rai demand plenty of water, so hydraulic empires grew along rivers to construct and maintain vast irrigation systems.
