I invite anyone and everyone to edit this. Only criteria: IF there is a source, use it. Good sources are region descriptions of nearby regions, existing data linked to from the Dwilight page concerning geography and culture, realm pages, etc. If and only if no name can be found, make one up. If there are multiple names, use your discretion. Pick one, or note both. The lack of formalized geography has always bothered me, especially in a place as big as Dwilight. It'd be great to see some geography getting formed. Please, no REGIONAL geography. No one-region geographic features. Don't point out the "mountain range" with one region. A look at the map reveals 2, maybe 3, mountain ranges: around Balance's Retreat, Chrysantylys, possibly Via. Rivers I think need names, large plains areas... I'd like this page to be a fairly basic list with links to more in-depth explanations. Vellos 22:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Do we want to use the in-game named weather areas as a basis for building this up? For instance, I know in Pian en Luries, the two weather types are East Pastureland and South Mediterranean. Would these fit in with that plan and idea? Silverfire 01:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Yes, weather regions would also be good. However, they are a bit bland. They can be good starters, but should not be the end-all-beat-all as geography is only partially climatic. Vellos 03:03, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
This is indeed a great initiative especially for a continent like Dwilight. However, in my opinion, the rivers, mountains, lakes and possibly even seas ought to be given names by the game developers after which the river, mountains, lake and sea names would be displayed on the map, and this has been a feature requests I've been meaning to submit for a while now. It offers a lot of role playing potential and would be more widely spread and accepted by the community, as sadly, not all see wiki as a part of the game and thus don't care for it. --Gryphon 12:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
