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
Sea of Luries
Sea between Askileon and Giask, bordering Forlands.
Forests
Plains
Dalian Expanse
Dongeselands
Mimer Peninsula
Flow Peninsula
Great Plain of Toprak
Plains stretching from Mamaroneck, Shomrak, and Ashrak in the south to Mt.Black Nastrond in the north, including Dingeselands and the Dalian Expanse; large, generalized area

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
Occidens
The large, western landmass.
Waterways
