The Acre or Iris (Riyan: Airé /ɪˈrɛ/) is a major river in Soltenna. It rises at the Kuridan Pass near Mount Metni and flows west through Lugida, Kadya, and Riyana before reaching its estuary near Cuáma out into the Amiyant Sea. At 1,058 kilometres (657 mi), the Acre is Soltenna's sixth longest river. With the Cuáma River, the Acre comprises the Central Basin area, whose drainage basin encompasses much of Kadya and Riyana.
The Acre and Cuáma rivers have played a major role in Soltennan history. Throughout history, the Acre has been used for water, irrigation, sanitation, industry, and transportation, and it is site to a number of oldest known civilizations, most notably the Wa Dynasty and Ancient Iris. Along the river basin, Cuáma, Sévmiela, and Rogue are each home to over three million.
