Dora Baltea
Dora Baltea (Italian: [ˈdɔːra ˈbaltea]) or Doire Baltée (French: [dwaʁ balte]) (Latin: Duria maior or Duria Bautica;Arpitan: Djouire (Valdôtain); Piedmontese: Deura Bàotia), is a river in northern Italy. It is a left-hand tributary of the Po River and is about 170 kilometres (110 mi) long.
Geography
It originates by Mont Blanc as the confluence of the Dora di Ferret, fed by the Pré de Bar Glacier in Val Ferret, and the Dora di Veny, fed by the Miage Glacier in Val Veny.
As it crosses the Aosta Valley, the Dora Baltea flows through the city of Aosta (where the Buthier runs into it) and near all the main cities of the lower Aosta Valley: Châtillon, Saint-Vincent, Verrès and Pont-Saint-Martin. After it enters Piedmont, it passes through the city of Ivrea and a good part of Canavese, gets from its right hand the waters of the Chiusella and reaches the Po at Crescentino, a little downstream from Chivasso.
Water uses
It is a popular place for whitewater rafting and kayaking. Early in the summer, in May and June, the rivers are usually high with snow melt from the mountains. During July, August and September the water levels are usually lower and the temperature warmer.
A New Aeon Of Desecration
Battlefields glow
Cemetery fog grows
In the gathering gloom
Frozen bodies
Liquifying
Voices of Phlegethos
Calling my name
Golden rivers
And twisted forests
Slain forces
And slaughtered chosen
And here we gather
In desecration
A new aeon of warlust and bloud
To quench our thirst
I slay laegion in waxe
And call name of wynds
And they crawl forth
From below
Eternitites darken
Battlefields glow
Cemetery fog grows
On a looming horizon
And here we gather
In desecration
A new aeon of bloud and souls
To quench our thirst
Signing of seven consecrated branches of fir
Upon the soil
