Raging River

The Raging River is a river in Daventry making up a portion of the River Fools.

Background

Graham discovered some pebbles on a beach near a bend in the river.

Sometime following Graham's coronation the Raging River had dried up or was filled in, and the Town of Daventry grew into once had been the Mushroom Isle and Gnome's Isle. Rumplestiltskin built his Gnome's House outside the town, across the dry river bed of a section that had been known as the Dangerous River.

Almost two decades later, following earthquakes, droughts, and other disasters that affected daventry, the house had become a rickety shack, outside the crumbling town of Daventry.

Still its known that the following year (following Alexander's return and the defeat of the three-headed dragon), portions of the Raging River continued to flow or began to flow again. Some who want to vacation in Daventry are known to spend their time suntanning on the castle wall, or swimming in the Raging River! The latter is not recommended as many people have lost their lives in its dangerous currents. Which in the past had led to the full river system being known as the River Fools.

The Merelee River flows to the west of the Raging River & River Fools.

Behind the scenes

The Raging River appears specifically the name a portion of river within KQ1AGI. In KQ1SCI the river's name is not mentioned, although it is referred to as being a raging river, a rough river, among other descriptions. The rivers are very different in the original and remake whereas the river has shallow river banks in the original, the river has carved out treacherous canyons in the remake.

The KQ1 Hintbook calls another section where pebbles were found in the Raging River, the 'Dangerous River'. This is the area where The gnome's shack is in KQ3 the river having filled in and stopped flowing there. The pebbles were moved to a lake in the remake. The original and KQ3 shows the west bank to largely green and tranquil area. In the remake the area is stony with large jutting boulders on the western shore.

In the map in the official KQ1 Hintbook, the section known as the raging river passes from the screen with the mushroom, south to the "Dangerous River" section, east to the 'Boulder in Raging River', and south to the 'Bend in Raging River'.

In the original KQ1 on the screen with the mushroom on the island, it is possible to cross the river, by walking across the lower edge of the screen (if Graham's boots are just off the edge of the screen). This is an alternative way to cross over to the island without catching a ride on the condor (but you miss points).

The Raging River is mentioned in Hoyle I, see Hoyle I quotes.
