Overview
The source of Broderick’s River is the head of a ravine in which a waterfall from the upper peaks meets water bubbling up from the Sunless Sea. This is where the giant blind salamanders that live in darkness crawl up to lay their eggs in relative safety. The eggs are cleverly hidden under the overhanging rocks of the cliffs of this ravine and the poison ooze that they are laid in helps keep all but the most persistent predators away. Occasionally the eggs are eaten or a young salamander gets washed downstream into the Ocean of Bitter Regrets, but usually they are able to swim down into the Sunless Sea and rejoin the rest of their kind.
