The Harstrad River is a river in northern Solstheim which empties into the Sea of Ghosts along the northeastern coast of the island.[1][2]

Before the Red Year of 4E 5,[3] the Harstrad river formed the eastern boundary of the Moesring Mountains on the island of Solstheim. It sprung up near the center of the island and flowed north, merging with the Isild River in the Isinfier Plains and then out into the Sea of Ghosts. The Wind Stone was located on its western shore, the Tree Stone was near its headwaters, and its banks were dotted with barrows and snow wolves.[1]

The cataclysms of the Red Year substantially changed the landscape of Solstheim.[3] The delta of the river has moved a little northeast, and the Wind Stone is now located on its eastern shore. The body of the river was substantially truncated, as the headwaters, now inhabited by Spriggans, emerge further north on the island. When the fungal tower of Tel Mithryn began suffering a serious malady in 4E 201, taproot soaked in the headwaters of the river was used to heal the living building.[2]
