The Borchava River lies south of the Little Borchava River in northwestern Nova Vaasa. It flows out of the nothingness of the Shadow Rift, which is to say that it has its phantom headwaters in the vanished land of Markovia. It rushes down out of the Vaesen Foothills and onto the Elendighedmark ("Plain of Misery"), being joined by the Little Borchava River well south of Liara, and bends to the north east. It joins the Vaughn Dnar River halfway between Liara and Kantora. The Vaughn Dnar continues east by southeast, passing just north of Kantora, and merges there with the Dnar River, becoming the Sydligdnar, which drains into the Nocturnal Sea just north of Egertus beside Guldstrand Beach via the Katsmund Canyon. The watershed of the Borchava River defines the southern limit of the Borchava Duchy of the Hiregaard family.

The Borchava River is crossed by the East Timori Road just before it merges with the Vaughn Dnar, suggesting that it is either more fordable than the Vaughn Dnar or that a bridge thrown across it would do less harm to river traffic than one thrown over the Vaughn Dnar.

The Borchava River is an important source of water for crops, humans, and domestic animals. Farmland stretches back from its banks from the end of the Vaesen Foothills to its termination in the Vaughn Dnar.
