Rindle:  a river in the Northern March of Emer

.

“The night grew cold as the stars changed position above them and the track alternately climbed and plunged down. Carick stumbled more than once when he had to lead Mallow, and tried not to think of Malisande and Alianor, or the other damosels, lost somewhere in the moonless hills—or already lying dead in the deep channels or shingle wash of the Rindle. He stumbled again and wished he was a cat, or one of the Patrol, since River legend claimed they could see in the dark. Yet despite his poor night vision, he was still not sure how he and Mallow came to be at the end of the line after their next stop, the path behind them lost in darkness.”
