Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.

Toprak

The large, upper eastern landmass.

Waterways

Euschean Sea

Small salt-water bay in far eastern Toprak, formed by Stratford's peninsula.

Flow of the Balance

River flowing eastwards out of the springs around Balance's Retreat in the Divide Mountains, running by Flowrestown. OOC- if anyone objects to this somewhat punny name, it can be changed easily enough: I just found it too perfect
