 The Saniset River traverses much of [[Hazlan]] and cuts across the [[Pommel]] of southern [[Nova Vaasa]]. Its tributaries are the ''[[Genspejle]]'' ("Mirror River") and the ''[[Felgmøsge]]'' ("Mistmoss River"). The source of the ''Genspejle'' is the eastern flanks of the [[Balinoks]] of south-east [[Barovia]], from which its waters head east into Nova Vaasa, then bend south-east into Hazlan. The source of the ''Felgmøsge'' is the [[Mists]] that form Hazlan's southern border, from which its waters head straight north. Summer melt waters from ''[[Terestrãu]]'' ("Mount Sawtooth") in south-eastern Barovia feed the lake adjacent to [[Immol]] that is the source of the Saniset itself. The Saniset flows down from Immol, east by southeast across the [[Ensommark]] ("Lonely Plain"), within sight on either side of [[Toyalis]] and the [[Veneficus | estate]] of [[Hazlik]],  to [[Sly-Var]] where it is joined from the north by the ''Genspejle.''The Saniset then holds true to its east by southeast course as it is eventually joined by the ''Felgmøsge'' from the south, passes just to the north of the [[Skyggeskov]] ("Shadowwood") as it crosses the border into Nova Vaasa, and flows gently to the sea. Whereas the ''[[Sydligdnar]]'' and the [[Ivlis River]] are each given a canyon, none is mentioned for the Saniset.

	The [[Iron Road]] crosses the Saniset a third of the way to Sly-Var from Toyalis, remaining on the north side of the river beyond that. The point of crossing would be the transfer point between water and land for goods moving to and from Toyalis. It would also be the point where Hazlik crosses the river when commuting between Toyalis and his private [[estate]] [[Veneficus]]. A [[ferry]], albeit a large one that can handle [[wagons]], would be preferable from the standpoint of river traffic, but Hazlik is not a patient man. Then again, perhaps he doesn't travel by mundane means over much. Still, a wide and soaring arched [[bridge]] of stone from the wizard who build [[Ramulai]] in a day would be a nice touch. A mundane bridge thrown across the river for Hazlik's convenience, the river traffic be damned, might fit better with the Red Wizard's priorities and character. And a mere ferry at the most important river crossing in Hazlan just seems out of place. Perhaps a [[drawbridge]] would be a suitable compromise.

	The Saniset River reaches across the [[Pommel]] of southern [[Nova Vaasa]] and into [[Hazlan]]. Its tributaries are the ''[[Genspejle]]'' ("Mirror River") and the ''[[Felgmøsge]]'' ("Mistmoss River"). The source of the ''Genspejle'' is the eastern flanks of the [[Balinoks]] of south-east [[Barovia]], from which its waters head east into Nova Vaasa, then bend south-east into Hazlan. The source of the ''Felgmøsge'' is the [[Mists]] that form Hazlan's southern border, from which its waters head straight north. Summer melt waters from ''[[Terestrãu]]'' ("Mount Sawtooth") in south-eastern Barovia feed the lake adjacent to [[Immol]] that is the source of the Saniset itself. The Saniset flows down from Immol, east by southeast across the [[Ensommark]] ("Lonely Plain"), within sight on either side of [[Toyalis]] and the [[estate]] of [[Hazlik]], to [[Sly-Var]] where it is joined from the north by the ''Genspejle.''The Saniset then holds true to its east by southeast course as it is eventually joined by the ''Felgmøsge'' from the south, passes just to the north of the [[Skyggeskov]] ("Shadowwood") as it crosses the border into Nova Vaasa, and flows gently to the sea. Whereas the ''[[Sydligdnar]]'' and the [[Ivlis River]] are each given a canyon, none is mentioned for the Saniset. A gently sloped river valley that grows quite wide by the time that it has reached the sea may be assumed then. The river's outlet is a fair distance north of [[Arbora]], but a greater distance south of the outlet of the Ivlis.

	The upper reaches of the Saniset are unnavigable, even on a small raft, given its swiftness, rapids, rocks, and gravel bars. It is navigable from the Nocturnal Sea to Sly-Var. Craft are very likely smaller than small ships however. Otherwise ''[[chuul]]'', when they rear their ugly selves, wouldn't be able to make a mess of transport on the river.<ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer I, 46">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer I]], p46.</ref> The toll charged by the Nova Vaasan authorities hardly facilitates trade either. Upriver navigation, across much of the ''[[Ensommark]]'', would make sense, although perhaps in smaller craft as the water is split between two rivers. Still the Saniset would likely be sufficiently deep to prohibit fording. A ferry at Sly-Var would join the town to the south shore.

	The [[Iron Road]] crosses the Saniset a third of the way to Sly-Var from Toyalis, remaining on the north side of the river beyond that. The point of crossing would be the transfer point between water and land for goods moving to and from Toyalis. It would also be the point where Hazlik crosses the river when commuting between Toyalis and his private [[estate]] Veneficus. A ferry, albeit a large one that can handle wagons, would be preferable from the standpoint of river traffic, but Hazlik is not a patient man. Then again, perhaps he doesn't travel by mundane means over much. Still, a wide and soaring arched bridge of stone from the wizard who build [[Ramulai]] in a day would be a nice touch. A mundane bridge thrown across the river for Hazlik's convenience, the river traffic be damned, might fit better with the Red Wizard's priorities and character. And a mere ferry at the most important river crossing in Hazlan just seems out of place.

	The Saniset is a critical source of water for crops, humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. In Hazlan there should be a solid band of farmland for water intense crops stretching back from the banks of the river from the beginning of the ''[[Ensommark]]'' ("Lonely Plain") to the [[Nova Vaasan]] frontier, a band broken only by a few private [[estates]] and fear of ''[[chuul]]'' in the immediate vicinity of the ''Felgmøsge'' ("Mistmoss River"). Beyond Hazlan there would be a solid band of farmland in the river valley all the way to the sea, with the farms being taxed by the Chekivs, for in Nova Vaasa the Saniset belongs to the [[Pommel Duchy]] of the [[Chekiv family]].
