| - During the years when Daventry went into decline due to the loss of the three treasures, the Raging River flowed through the wilds of the kingdom south of Castle Daventry, where it passed the Mushroom Isle (location of the Land of the Leprechauns) in the bend in the river known as the Dangerous River and then split into two tributaries which passed around the Island of the Gnome. The river was quite treacherous earning it the additional name the River Fools. On his journey Graham discovered some pebbles on a beach near the dangerous bend in the river, and later crossed the river via the Troll Bridges, and by Condor. 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 river's islands. Rumplestiltskin built his Gnome's House outside the town, across the dry dangerous river bed near the former Mushroom Isle. The Merelee River flowed to the south to the west of the former riverbed of Raging River & River Fools. 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. A wooden fence was built from north to south along the edge of the former river blocking access to the town. 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.
