The Alne River is a river that flows in-between Leicestershire and Oxfordshire in England. The river connects with the Arwy River to the west, while the River Nene and Cearrwell River lie to its north and south, respectively. From the south, it is joined by a stream that flows by the village of Perie and some Roman ruins.[1]
The Alne derives its name from the Celtic word alwine, meaning "bright" or "clear."[2] The land enclosed by the Alne and Arwy featured the Alcestre Monastery, which takes it name from the former, Alcestre or Alencestre meaning "fortress on the Alne."[3]
Behind the scenes
The Alne River is based on the tributary river of the Arwy, now Arrow River. Both rivers flow through the modern English counties of Worcestershire and Warwickshire, the latter of which borders those of Leicestershire and Oxfordshire.[4]
For the purposes of convenient longboat traversal in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, the Alne and Arwy connect directly with the Cearrwell River to the south. The game also depicts the waters of the Alne flowing away east from the Arwy, forming a confluence with the River Nene instead.[1]
