There are only five rivers to quench your thirst, each far from the other. Which river do you settle next to?





Each time you drink from the river, you are intoxicated by the emotion and feelings of that river. You can stop drinking, but you get extremely thirsty from time to time. Which river would you settle near to get your source of water?

Hate.

Wouldn't be a whole lot different from how I occasionally feel.

Cocytus, I'm sure I'd already be lamenting my stay anyway so might as well double down.

Also Overlord, I'm fiending for the next volume

But what if the demons use your forgetfulness to take advantage of you?

Then you forget and as far as you are concerned nothing bad ever happened. If anything at all has ever happened as far as you know :0

When you say "take advantage of you", what exactly do you mean?

Alexander slips off the path and plunges into the River Styx As soon as the water touches his skin,
Alexander's mind and body go numb. He sinks like a lifeless stone. Hey, hey, what a fix! Bathin' in the River Styx!

Can I just hang out where the rivers all start so I can drink whatever or are they all far apart?

Can I dig up? Do they have other beverages or can people only drink river water???

I don't know what kind of torture demons are into, but i assume they might be humiliating and demeaning to the person, also they might turn you into a sex slave.

I'd go the Mystery Cult route and go looking for Mnemosyne instead.

Also, it's probably worth noting that Phlegethon is literally a river made out of fire, and Cocytus is a river of ice, so you probably aren't quenching your thirst from either of them. Not to mention that the Styx is often described as being poisonous and Lethe wipes out all memory of your mortal life in preparation for reincarnation, so neither is really a worthwhile option (Lethe might be, but only if you're actually dead).

The Acheron, in spite of its scary descriptors, is actually supposed to be a fairly benign river that is refreshing to drink.

Just jking, but so the only safe river to drink from is distress, seems like a lot pain to have to go through multiple times a day.

My English class in middle school spent a lot of time on Greek myth, and I've been interested in it since then. I actually know a ton about the rivers because I used to use them as my default planet names in various space games I played online (more specifically, Mnemosyne was the homeworld, Cocytus was the frozen world, Phlegethon was the molten world, etc.).

It's not a river that makes you feel "woe" or "lamentation" (the other common translations of the name), as much as it is a soothing river that allows you to wash away your sorrows when you drink from it.
