As Dwilight is an enormous expanse of land and water, it becomes necessary for some kind of meaningful geography to be developed. I have undertaken to develop such a geography based on currently existing accessible information.
Contents

The large, upper eastern landmass.
- ===Waterways===
- ===Forests===
- ===Plains===
- ====Dalian Expanse====
- ====Dongeselands====
- ====Mimer Peninsula====

- ====High Toprak]====
Expanse of Toprak stretching from furthest north coastlines around Storm's Keep to either North Divide or Ironsides Line; exact division in dispute
- ====Toprak Minor====
Expanse of Toprak stretching from Santoo in south to either North Divide or Ironsides Line; exact division in dispute; AKA North Forland
- ====Northnastrond====
Lands north of the narrow isthmus dominated by Mt. Black Nastrond.
Forland
The mid-sized, lower eastern landmass, largely covered by the Palm Sea; known either as Forland for those who see the northern border as Toprak Minor; known as South Forland for those who see northern border as North Forland, thus AKA South Forland

The large, western landmass.
- ===Waterways===

- ====Root River====
River flowing eastwards off the Dragon's Roost in central Occidens; AKA "Draco River."
- ====The Silent Rush====
Gulf in the Far West of Occidens; "inland" salt-water body; most powerful tidal forces in Dwilight at mouth.
- ===Forests===
- ===Plains===
- ===Other===
- ====The Dragon's Teeth====
Northern mountain range; highest point at the Mountain of Betrayal; aka the Dark Mountains.
- ===Domains===
- ====The Far West====
Islands
A number of inhabited lands within or bordering on the Great Central Sea.
- ===Tomb Islands===
Islands hosting the ports of Nebel and Raviel; AKA "The Dragon Islands"
- ===Madina===
Great Island with Madina; Isle Fatin with Tower Fatmilak.
- ===Inner Sea Islands===
Islands within or bordering on the Inner Sea, north of the Great Central Sea
- ====Libidizedd====
Island bordering the Inner Sea and the Great Central Sea, centered on Libidizedd City.
- ====The North Gate====
Island bordering between Inner Sea and the Ocean, presided over by Valkyrja; AKA- "The Stronghold Isle"
