In works where The Underworld or afterlife is visited, there is often a river present. This river, an Underworld River, typically acts as a barrier between life and death. Some works will treat the river as the afterlife itself. The river is usually a physical feature of some form, but they don't always have to contain water. It could contain a bunch of trash floating through the "air". It could even be made from tortured souls, liquid fire, or boiling blood. It's typically a metaphor for crossing a threshold, and moving on to the afterlife. Though water is also often linked with purity or cleansing, so crossing or immersing oneself in the river could be a metaphor for a cleansing of the soul. The river also serves as a boundary, physical or otherwise, between the land of the dead and the land of the quick. It is often the first of many, typically just in front of or behind the gates of the underworld proper. This is often why these rivers run with deadly waters or are home to terrible creatures, as they serve as an explanation for why the dead do not come back to the world of the living, and why the living cannot easily jaunt down to the dwelling places of the dead. This trope is Older Than Dirt; most examples draw inspiration from Classical Mythology and rivers within the Realm of Hades, such as the Styx, flowing through and demarcating the afterlife, but it's older than even that. Mesopotamian Mythology had the concept of Abzu, a large body of freshwater that was deep below ground, but still above the underworld. Expect The Ferryman to appear to convey the protagonists across the river, and if they aren't truly dead, have them attempt to either escape themselves, or be Rescued from the Underworld. |

Dragaera: The Deathgate Falls flows from a mundane river into the Paths of the Dead, the spiritual otherworld where souls are judged in between reincarnations. It's common Due to the Dead to send bodies over the Falls; living people can also enter the Paths that way, but the Falls are an Eldritch Location of no fixed height and they don't allow a return trip. | |

With This Ring: The river Lethe is used by Hades to remove the memories of souls who choose reincarnation. However, during one of Paul's visits to Erebos, he finds Hecate and Eris hosting a pool party to celebrate finding a way to purify the water — with the by-product being a potent mind-wipe residue. | |

As per The Divine Comedy, the Fifth Layer, Wrath, has the Styx, which would usually bring in the souls of those that died and be part of several punishments. However, the apocalypse that ended mankind was so sudden and thorough the whole layer was Biblically flash-flooded by the sheer amount of incoming souls, and the river is now an actual Ocean Styx, with millions upon millions of Wrathful damned fighting each other for air. The Ferrymen had to upscale appropriately, and their boats are now the size of cruise ships. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: In Eorzean mythology, the Heaven of Water, where scholars, inventors, teachers, and entrepreneurs are thought to go after their deaths, has an enormous river running through it. The myths dictate that the river was created when Nymeia melted a star before Thaliak poured the essence of knowledge into it to fill the minds of all people. In the Myths of the Realm raid series, Thaliak will weaponize the river as he battles the party on top of it. | |

The Seventh layer of Violence, specifically the 1st ring where it's an eternal warzone, has the blood river Phlegethon as well, though it's much less relevant to your voyage down; the closest you come is roaming the scattered ruins of Urban Warfare lining its shores, trying not to fall inside no matter how many Hellbound war machines come for you. |

They're more than a physical barrier — people like Sin-Eaters can cross a limited number of Rivers per visit to the Underworld with their own magic, but must barter with a Ferryman to take them deeper. | |

Pathfinder: The River Styx originates in the Neutral Evilinvoked afterlife of Abaddon and flows through all the non-Good Outer Planes. It's a dangerous option for Dimensional Travelers — the waters are deadly, the denizens are predatory, and the only Ferrymen are powerful daemons who like to renegotiate the fee mid-ride. The River of Souls comprises all the spirits of the newly dead, flowing through the Astral Plane to the Boneyard where they're sent to the appropriate afterlife. It's heavily patrolled by Outsiders of all kinds, some to guard the souls and others to waylay or devour them. |

Later Shiina and Miranjo's mother show up in attempt to persuade Miranjo from her crimes, but she rejects them and leaves as well. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Styx runs through the entire span of the Lower planes and as such is constantly fought over by the forces of the devils and the demons. Its waters drain memory, and as such traversing it requires the services of a specialized order of daemonic boatmen; there are also a few types of monster that can withstand its waters and thus live in its depths, such as a species of serpentine dragon. It has a counterpart in the Upper Planes in the form of the (much safer) river Oceanus. | |

The Sai no Kawara ("Riverbed of Death") acts like a purgatory specifically towards children who have died too soon to properly cross over to the realm of the Dead. The guardian known as Jizo must protect the children until they are worthy of crossing by keeping them safe from the Oni that prowl the shoreline. | |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Styx, the river that separates the Underworld from the world of the living, is encountered and referenced multiple times. Its water will kill most beings that try to cross it, but those that can withstand it are made physically invulnerable except in one singular spot. Also mentioned are the Lethe, whose waters drain memory, and the Phlegethon, which runs with liquid fire. In The Heroes of Olympus, these rivers, alongside Acheron and Cocytus, are described as serving as something analogous to blood vessels for the world-body of Tartarus. | |

The Locked Tomb: There's an extradimensional space "below" reality which is called "the River". Necromancers who practice soul magic draw power from the dead that end up here, though some believe that it's a transitory realm and not the actual afterlife. It can be used for faster-than-light travel, but doing so is incredibly dangerous, as astral projection is required to survive the trip, and ghost and revenant attacks are an inevitability. The River appears to be horizontally infinite, but it has a riverbed studded with vast mouths that open into Hell. | |

Afterlife (1996): Both heaven and hell are divided up semi-randomly by large rivers. They're mostly just an obstacle, requiring the player to build and maintain ports to get SOULs across, but they do have a niche use for efficiently spreading Ad Infinitum energy. As is typical of the game, they also come with cutesy descriptions. | |

Hades: Four rivers are featured — the Styx in Tartarus and in the Temple of Styx, the Phlegethon in Asphodel, the Lethe in Elysium, and Oceanus on the surface. Each of them has fish that can be caught as part of the game's Fishing Minigame. Zagreus, being a Cthonic god, is always reclaimed by the Styx and dragged back down to the House of Hades, even if he beats his father in combat. The Acheron is also briefly seen during Charon's Shoplift and Die boss fight. | |

Fallen London: If your Wounds reach 8, your character will temporarily die and end up on a boat traversing a river with a skeletal boatman and lots of other dead souls being ferried across. You can reduce your Wounds value and return to the land of the living by playing games like chess or dice with the boatman, or by drawing cards that, among various other options, let you trail your hand in the river of the dead and recall your living existence. | |

Phlegethon: Right off the start, you're unexpectedly banished from the world of living to the banks of Phlegethon, one of the five rivers running through Greek Hell, whose shores are filled with the undead as well as Nazis for some reason. The entire game revolves around your attempts to cross Phlegethon. | |
