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 Sydligdnar and Ivlis 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 River.
The upper reaches of the Saniset are unnavigable, even on a small raft, given its swiftness, rapids, rocks, and gravel bars. Its lower reaches are perfectly navigable but the toll charged by the Nova Vaasan authorities hardly facilitates trade. Additionally, shipping may be beset by chuul, and perhaps stranger things still, in the vicinity of the Felgmøsge.
The Saniset is a critical source of water for crops, humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. In Hazlan there should be a near solid band of farmland for water intense crops stretching back from the banks of the river across the entire Ensommark ("Lonely Plain") with the exception of the immediate vicinity of the Felgmøsge. In Nova Vaasa 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 the Saniset here belongs to the Pommel Duchy of the Chekiv family.
