The area of the delta most hospitable to long-term habitation, the banksides here are one of the few areas of firm footing and good grazing. Between the cordgrass can be found succulent, although slightly salty-tasting, forage. The ground is sandy and littered with shells, shaped by the constant motion of wind and waves into dunes and dropoffs. The ancient refuse of human rivercraft often washes up here; bottles, fish traps, boards, things so strange as to be unidentifiable.

At the center of the the delta, where the water spreads out to become brackish and shallow, the silt has formed into a broad swathe of fine mud. Shifting and changing with the tide, it is separated from the banks by a channel on either side, and for the most part, is abandoned save for the rookery of seabirds and the occasional heron. However, it is ideally located for privacy, with a clear perspective and out of hearing range of the shore. Hence, meetings are usually held here, when the tide is low and the ground is dry.

A network of tiny islands and hummocks strewn across the entrance of the river, where fresh water meets salt and the current churns up high ground suitable for plants to live on. These tiny patches of dry land are rarely larger than ten feet across, but spaced closely enough to afford jumps from one to another. In the calm areas between them, fish and crabs can be seen scuttling back and forth across the sandy bottom. They make for amusing sport, as do the timid flocks of gulls and shorebirds.
