Old Thirr Route Before the Creation of the Inner Sea

I was wondering if you guys were going to address the old route of the Thirr river before the creation of the Inner Sea. I imagine the Deshaan would be the most direct route to the Padomaic Ocean.

I ask because it seems like the water sources (like mountain drainage, etc) would still have been present in the time before the Inner Sea and that there should be some mention in dialogue and some physical remnants marking the land from that time. Also wanted to point out that rivers often leave good fertile river bottom, useful for farming, after drifting away from a location.

Also, leaving some old delta isles and a bit of a bay in the old delta's location might be a good idea.

I wrote a post [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?p=318920]here[/url] about the "creation of the Inner Sea" myths. In particular, this is how things were before the Inner Sea exists:

A great valley ran down the heart of Morrowind - from Baan Malur to Narsis. This was the old heartland of Morrowind. The Thirr ran down the heart of it to its mouth at what are now the Straits of Malur. Rivers like the Odai were tributaries of the Thirr, the waters of the Ascadian Isles were great lakes. What is now the eastern Inner Sea - around Sadrith Mora & Firewatch - was then a rocky highland region.

The Inner sea essentially dropped the land around what is now the island Vvardenfell, creating a sea. The mouth of the Thirr was now near Ebonheart, with everything below it flooded by seawater.

Additionally, a continent divide separates the Deshaan from the sea to the east.
