The Thon-Sorpon River is a river on the western side of Ansalon. Where the river meets the Thon-Tsalarian River there is the island called Dir-Plaanar. When Solinari is full and shines on the river it looks like it's made of silver. Thon-Sorpon even means "Silver Road" in the Elvish Language. Legend says that the river formed from the tears of El'liolle when Huma Dragonbane left to find the dragonlances.
History
Pre Cataclysm
The Thon-Sorpon started in the foothills where the Last Gaard Mountains and the Aegis Mountains meet. The river flowed roughly south until it meets the Thon-Tsalarian River and they later joined the Greenthorn River that then flowed into the Gulf of Ergoth.
Post Cataclysm
During the Cataclysm the world changed greatly including the forming of Southern Ergoth. The Thon-Sorpon still flowed south but now when it met the Thon-Tsalarian it flowed into the new Harkun Bay.
Kender Tales
It was said that the Silvanesti Elves named the Thon-Tsalarian river Thon-Sargon due to the fact that the water shines silver when Solinari rises, but that was the Thon-Sorpon River.
