The main body of the river flows fairly straight westwards from its source in the east.{{map Itref|Elendel isBasin}} unclearThe whethersource of the sourceriver isappears into thelie [[Faleastfar Range]]east of the Basin, near the former [[SeranCrescent RangeDominance]], orand furtherit outsideenters the basinBasin similarthrough toa atgap least two ofbetween the other[[Faleast majorRange]] rivers/canals inand the basin[[Seran Range]].{{map ref|Elendel BasinScadrial}} Inside the city proper, the river has been engineered to flow straight due west through a large canal, and has been split such that it flows around the circular island forming the Field of Rebirth. After flowing under the three bridges close to the Northside Sixth Octant precinct it opens out under the outer ring-road bridge and flows into [[Hammondar Bay]].{{map ref|Elendel}} The six major canals which channel the other six rivers in Elendel Basin are all also engineered to flow into the river around the Field of Rebirth, forming the other spokes which border the eight Octants of Elendel.{{map ref|Elendel}}
 
A rail line travels the length of the river along the southern bank, terminating at the inner ring-road of the Third Octant, with further connections through to most of the other rail lines.{{map ref|Elendel}} Outside the city the rail deviates from the river, providing a straighter route out to [[Steinel]]. Two spurs from the main line provide access to stations on the river at [[Dryport]] and across the river closer to Seinel. At Steinel the rail forks, one branch following the river more closely out to the eastern mountains, the other travelling south west to [[Elmsdel]] and [[Garmet]].{{map ref|Elendel Basin}} At least fifteen stations lie along the river, five of which in the city boundaries.
