Should we call it sanity River?

Or name it after a legend?

Maybe a legend…. Or we could be v basic and just call it like… yeah sanity river, but I like River of Sanity better, or of clarity

OH YOU KNOW WHAT? I have the original book in my tbr list (I have to finish a few library books before my loans run out first tho), and I bet I can pull something from there that would fit. Like maybe a snippet from one of the asides, like you know, Walrus and the Carpenter? There's a bunch of little poems and stuff that would prob work

What if theres a backside like if you drink the water something bad will happen or like something is guarding it?

salvus
safe, sound, unscathed, alive, free from difficulties
?
What if- if you don't need the water, it will have the opposite effect? Like if you just go drink from the river, not with the tea, you start to hallucinate?

OH OH OH, what if your sane and you go drink the water, but then you become mad. but if you're mad and drink the water, you become sane?

okay sorry, I had to a) get a charger, my laptop was about to die and b) comment on another thread.
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking

I think Salvus is a good river name? Salvus, aka the River of Sanity? Or should we change it bc now it also makes you go mad?

River of Opposites?

Hmmm… but that might make ppl think that it does more than just give/take sanity… What about… a play on the Lethe, from greek mythology? It caused amnesia, I think, so that plays into the madness/losing one's head

That would work too!

I'll do like….
meminileth?
Memini means remember in Latin, then leth is shortened from leth, so forget. Not quite/directly sanity, but pretty close, I think. Bc part of insanity is forgetting who you are?

Hold on I have to Brb, Ill get back to you!

okay!

Hi, I'm back! Ok so yes, that would work! But it could have other titles too….so which title would be most known?

Hmm… I really do like the river of sanity for it's simplicity.

Maybe the river could be a legend or something. Maybe it could be known as the Heart of Wonderland or something like that because it flows through Wonderland?

Ooh, or the vein of wonderland? The heart of wonderland could be the spring from where the river stems? and there are other rivers too, with more properties?

Oh yeah! That would make much more sense, The Meminileth could be the main river and then tiny streams breaking off from it?

I was thinking more along the line of a spring in the center of wonderland, and there are rivers flowing in each direction, but maybe Meminileth is a legend because you can only find it by accident? And no one can remember the way to it?

WAAYYY too cliche, but maybe only the people with the right intentions can find it? Or maybe special people?

I like that better- the right intentions. But what determines what is right?
(I am keeping the no one can remember the way to it tho, bc it's the river that messes/deals with your mind.)
