The river Mander is the largest river in the Reach. It is a large, powerful river.[1] It is a slow-moving river, wide with snags and sandbars to trap the unwary ship.[2] Settlements along the Mander include Bitterbridge,[3] Longtable, Cider Hall, and Highgarden.

The upper reaches of the Mander are muddy and rough and as they near Highgarden, they settle down and become clear and calm.[4]

History

Historically, the ironborn would raid up the river Mander all the way to Bitterbridge.
