"The river's water is extremely poisonous. They say that it would dissolve any vessel that would float on it except one that is made out of a hood of a horse. However, people have tried that, but even those vessels have dissolved." He laughed. "There's a rumor that you can cross the river on a unicorn. But seriously, a unicorn?" Eltanin scoffed. "Araniea has never seen a unicorn in their life. So, the bridge it is. Since part of the river falls in Hydra territory, they have complete control over it. They don't allow others to construct a bridge over it and the only one that exists is there because they want some form of communication with the outer world."
