The Anesa river (Mirselec Anesa ainos) is a river in the south of Masalne, and a tributary of the Rushalya. Sometimes it is also known as the "Border River" (Mirslec Gaeste ainos), for two reasons: firstly it is analogous to the Border Ridge, with which it forms the dividing line of the Feladmena Plain which it flows through; and secondly, for a significant part of its course, it forms the border between Eonis and Inezama Province.
