Devona (Night Watch)
''Night Watch'' (russian: «Ночной Дозор») is the first fantasy novel by the Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko to feature his fictional world of the Others. Lukyanenko wrote the story in 1998 and the book was first published in Russia by AST in 1998. The story revolves around a confrontation between two opposing supernatural groups (known as "Others"): the Night Watch, an organization dedicated to policing the actions of the Dark Others—and the Day Watch, which polices the actions of the Light Others. The novel is first in a cycle that continues with '' Day Watch'', '' Twilight Watch (also known as Dusk Watch)'', '' Final Watch'', '' New Watch'', and '' Sixth Watch''. The first story of the novel, ''Destiny'', was made into a successful Russian film, ''Night Watch'', which, although keeping the characters and many of the events of the original novel, alters some significant elements of the story.

Divona
Divona (Gaulish: ''Deuona'', ''Diuona'', 'Divine') is a Gallo-Roman goddess of springs and rivers. The cult of the fresh waters appears to have been particularly important among Gauls, and Celts in general, compared to the other of Indo-European-speaking peoples. Name The name ''Divona'' ('Divine') is a derivative of the Gaulish word ''deuos'' ('god'). Toponymic evidence suggest that sacred springs have been named for the deity, such as ''Dēouóna'' (Δηουόνα), the ancient name of Cahors, as well as ''Divonne'' and ''Fosse Dionne''. Attestation and cult practices In ancient Roman religion, goddesses of freshwater sources are often associated with the deity Fons, god of fountains and wellheads, honored at the Fontinalia for his role in the public water supply for the city. Ausonius invokes ''fons'', the manmade outlet that makes the water available to the people, with a string of adjectives: '' sacer, alme, perennis, / vitree, glauce, profunde, sonore, illimis, opace ...

River Don, Aberdeenshire
The River Don ( gd, Deathan) is a river in north-east Scotland. It rises in the Grampians and flows eastwards, through Aberdeenshire, to the North Sea at Aberdeen. The Don passes through Alford, Kemnay, Inverurie, Kintore, and Dyce. Its main tributary, the River Ury, joins at Inverurie. Course of the river The Don rises in the peat flat beneath ''Druim na Feithe'', and in the shadow of Glen Avon, before flowing quietly past the ice-age moraine and down to Cock Bridge, below the picturesque site of the recently demolished Delnadamph Lodge. Several streams, the Dhiver, Feith Bhait, Meoir Veannaich, Cock Burn and the Allt nan Aighean merge to form the embryonic Don. Water from the north of Brown Cow Hill () drains into the Don, while water from the west side runs into the River Spey and that from the south side into the Dee. The Don follows a circuitous route eastwards past Corgarff Castle, through Strathdon and the Howe of Alford before entering the North Sea just north of Ol ...
