Just a friendly geography nitpick here. River deltas require two things to form: the ocean must be calm enough (and preferably pretty shallow) and there must be enough sediment in the river. All the deltas currently on the map make sense, except one. The one that flows into the bay between Harudor and the Red Desert. The bay's waters are probably calm enough for a delta, however, whilst before update 34, that river flowed through all of Palisor and thus would have gathered enough sediment to form a delta, now it only flows from the southern side of the Mountains of the Wind. This distance is waaaayy too short for the river to collect enough sediment. I think the choice to not have the river flow through the mountain range was a good one, that would definitely not happen in real life (although I did love having my base there), so in my opinion, the best course of action is to remove the delta or maybe connect it to the Khandwater and have them combine into a delta.

P.S. deltas tend to bulge outwards when not flowing into a narrow bay (see nile delta) so that's something to keep in mind for future river deltas.

P.P.S. Inland seas are almost always calm enough for deltas (see Volga delta), so a good place to add a delta could be where one of the longer rivers flows into the Sea of Rhun or that lake in Palisor (I've forgotten the name)
