The [[Olgish peoples|Olgs]], knowing the river as ''Besokan'', were aware of its existence and religious significance at least since their first contact with the [[Soskish peoples|Sosks]] c. 2400 B.E.B., and from its first mention in writing, in the [[Lonsorigi|Elder Lonsorigi]] (c. 700 B.E.B.), it was designated the border between [[Belkondíl]] (the Olgish world) and [[Seligon]] (the foreign east). Even after its decline as a spiritual landmark, the Besokan was recongized as a major body of water and critical resource to the Kernogori and eastern Belkondíl. [[Melvas of Bernab]], writing in the 4th century L.R., lists it as one of the ‘seven great rivers’ in his ''Landmarks of the World'', beside [[Cëlac]], [[Brethan]], [[Ilathw]], [[Kalpa]], [[Muïnulis]], and [[Eargliss]]. | The [[Olgish peoples|Olgs]], knowing the river as ''Besokan'', were aware of its existence and religious significance at least since their first contact with the [[Soskish peoples|Sosks]] c. 2400 B.E.B., and from its first mention in writing, in the [[Lonsorigi|Elder Lonsorigi]] (c. 700 B.E.B.), it was designated the border between [[Belkondíl]] (the Olgish world) and [[Seligon]] (the foreign east).
