• Battle of White River: A battle during the Fereldan Rebellion about which little is known, save that it was a devastating defeat for the rebel forces from which only fifty rebels escaped, including Bryce Cousland, Rendon Howe and Leonas Bryland.
• Battle of River Dane: A pivotal battle in the Fereldan Rebellion in which two legions of chevaliers crossing the river were ambushed and slain, the defeat such that the Orlesian Emperor Florian abandoned his support to King Meghren as he saw little point in squandering so many resources to secure what had become an ungovernable and rebellious province.

Notes

• The Minanter River was referred to in ancient times as the River Pnemoix. It was considered a sacred river by the people of the Planasene. Its waters were used for anointment.
• Starkhaven fish and egg pie is a famous dish in which the main ingredients are fresh fish from the Minanter River, such as carp, trout, whitebait, and other species of varying sizes. The fish used may be fried or made into broth beforehand. Both the pie and Starkhaven give the impression that they "sit perched upon the river's bounty".
