Ahkratti Plains

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Ahkratti Plains is a great, treeless grasslands of southern Kahrim that rests amongst the Kalle Mountains, Rjedjec Sjërrjedjec and the Dejsjan Coast. The Ahkratti Plains are mostly farmlands because of its extremely high level of fertility. This allows the farmers plains to cultivate multiple harvests of from their lad without draining too much of the soils' rich nutrients. The value of the soil is replenished entirely by the rains brought on by the mists in the winter seasons. The Ahkratti Plains and the Trejksivo Fields create the breadbasket of Vereva and have until recently always been under major Minotaur influence. The plains also contain four of the world's major rivers–the Zevro River, Levink River, Djoho River and River Kahrim–and the world's fourth largest lake Lehk Melijki.

Aíere

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

Emptying into the Central Ocean at the oasis city of Avennio, Aíere (Bevesdani: pronounced: ah-YAY-reh; /aˈjeʁhɛ/) is the second longest river of Bevesta. Nestled in the Avennio Desert, the river is also the third warmest of all rivers on Vereva.

Almsaundean Continent

Almsaunde is the easternmost, warmest continent of Vereva. It consists of mainly warm dry regions and is the place of origin of the Thaumaturges, Giants, Manticores and Treants. Proponents of the Almsaundean continent greatly influneced the world during the Age of the Giants, but lost their significance during the Age of the Dwarves. The two nations that make up the Almsaundean Continent are Eidriel and Bevesta.

Amesei Falls

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Amesei Falls is the smallest waterfall of Lorelei in the small fishing village of Amesei. The falls have a height of 327 feet and as the final falls, drop the Fiora River down near sea level. Many freshwater fish that have made the mistake of swimming downstream during their mating seasons pool at the bottom of the falls in large numbers. This allows Humans and other predators in the area an easy summer fishing season.

Avennio Desert

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The smaller, central desert of the Almsaudean Continent is known as the Avennio Desert. Its northern edge creates half of the border between Bevesta and Eidriel as it stretches from the Central Ocean as far as Betubia. The Avennio Desert distinguishes itself from the Merida Desert by a difference in vegetation and wildlife. The Avennio desert harbors a larger number of aggressive and Majickle animals, while its southern neighbor is filled with more aggressive and Majickle plantlife. The desert contains two main oases where two cities are located. The city of Avennio, for which the desert is named, is located in a western against the shores of the Central Ocean through which the river Aíere empties. Palmirra, further inland is located in an oases where the desert's great lake Palmirra is located. The aggression of the wildlife in the Avennio Desert is said to provide a natural barrier for the surrounding area accounting largely for the ease of Bevesta's military victories over other nations.

Beating Heart

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

Vereva does not spin as it rotates around its sun, thus its sun faces the western side of the planet at all times directed at a focal point in the desert country of Bevesta. The sun's focal point, taking place in the Merida Desert is known as the Beating Heart and is the hottest place on Vereva, opposite of Pömt Mirvë. The Beating Heart acquired its name through two different concepts: Beating derives from its geography—a sandsea that flows and bubbles up endlessly, boiling eternally. It gets the name Heart from the idea that the goddess Bevesta is assumed to have risen back to heaven there, making it the most sacred place on the planet; the heart of Majicium. The area around the Beating Heart remains hot, humid and dry all year around, even during the winter months when the moon blocks the sun.

Central Ocean

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Central Ocean is the largest ocean of Vereva that is central on most maps. Each continent has borders in the Central Ocean, and The Scar is entirely surrounded by its waters. Only about 30% of the world's seafood is fished out of the Central Ocean.

Cwentachian Highlands

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Cwentachian Highlands refers to the highest elevations of the Kalle Mountains after the timberline where trees can grow no further. The name comes from the former country Cwentach that settled much of the moutains in its time. Many small settlements exist throughout the mountains though only one clearing is large enough and flat enough to maintain a city, called Sjërrjedjë.

Çy ffir vym Wöihodem

The Çy ffir vym Wöihodem (Mirvermish: lit. "Sea for the Voyage"; pronounced: SEE feer VEEM voo-EE-hohd; /ˈsiː fiɹ ˈviːm vuˈiɦodəm/) is a body of water of the Hydratic Ocean. It is named as the sea where Vy Wöihod takes places, starting in Aç'üçë and ending in Çotywol. The sea is encompassed by Vy Mirvë to the north, the Skypass to the east and Lorelei to the south. In the winter, the sea is ridden with many species of fish as they each try to swim through small channels in the Skypass in order to get to the Central Ocean.

Dahclon River

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Dahclon River (Kahremish: pronounced: DAH-klohn; /ˈdɑklon/) is longest river of Vereva in northeast Kahrim. It winds a length of 5,487 miles (8,830.5km) from the Rjedjec Sjërrjedjec through the Trejksivo Fields to its mouth at the city of Kartago, emptying into the Central Ocean.

Dejsjan Coast

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Dejsjan Coast (Kahremish: pronounced: DAY-syan; /ˈdeːsjæn/) is a low laying region in southern Kahrim. The climate is humid and wet having much vegetation and a wide variety of wildlife. The Dejsjan Coast is not as fertile as the neighboring Ahkratti Plains, but is the most sought after region of Vereva as it is the only region where the highly rare and useful lunar eclipse is found.

Diandria Falls

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Diandria Falls are the second tallest falls of Lorelei's Fiora River at a height of 377 ft (m). They are located between the cities of Lorel and Amesei and stand as a halfway point marker for travelers making trips between the two cities. The falls are heavily populated by marine mammals such as beavers and otters more so than the remaining falls.

Diedun River

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Diedun River (Lindjerblau: pronounced: DEE-doon; /ˈdidʊn/) is a short river in Eidriel. The city Baraquish sits between it and the Gobdiw River to the south.

Djoho River

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Djoho River (Kahremish: pronounced: DYOH-hoh; /ˈdjoɦo/) is the southern branch of the Zevro River. It stretches south at its break about 50 miles east of Masrë and heads 500 miles (804.6km) toward Port Neith. The Djoho is one of Kahrim's most influential rivers because of the many irrigation systems and aqueducts branching from it well into the Ahkratti Plains.

Dundugoras

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

Lining the border between Bevesta and Eidriel, the Dundugoras is low, dry mountain having many mesas, volcanos and plateaux. The small number of volcanos on the planet are nearly all in the southern ring of the Dundugoras. The range is said to have no vegetation at all and very little sources of water and precipitation. Species that inhabit the Dundugoras have adapted to have exclusively carnivore diets, to be able to store massive amounts of water or require very little water. Because of the lack of vegetation, the region can become violently windy, with many sandstorms and tempests. The Dundugoras also contribute to the branching of several languages originating on the Almsaundean Continent. Those languages where the name of the range is pronounced Dundugora are called Dundugora branch languages while those that pronounced the name of range as Dumduhor are deemed Dumduhor branch languages.

Earthflow

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

A large, boiling sea of sand and magma known as the Earthflow sits in the easternmost region of the Merida Desert in Bevesta. The Earthflow has the consistency of sand but flows like a liquid, spinning in a circle clockwise as thought the desert itself were being churned. Although the sand is in a constant state of movement, there are some small islands of stationary land within the Earthflow. These islands are stationary through the emerald cacti on them, whose roots may grow as deep as 30 ft (9m).

Faewood

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Faewood is a forest in southwest Lorelei of seasonal climates. The forest is thick and filled with all varieties of faes, rendering it a danger for travelers seasoned and novice. Much of the forests' depths have not been studied and explored, many are said to disappear forever just a hundred feet in.


Fedjor River

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The Fedjor River (Kahremish: pronounced: fuh-DYOHR; /fəˈdjoɹ/) is a short river in northern Kahrim emptying into the Trade Ocean at the north.

Fiora River

The Fiora River is a river through central and northern Lorelei that empties north into the Central Ocean. The river has three major falls. The first of its falls, named Lorel Falls are located in the capitol city Lorel. The other two falls, Amesei Falls and Diandria Falls are located further north, nearer the Central Ocean.

Fountains at Mekyrus

The largest lake of Vereva, called the Fountains at Mekyrus, is located near the Eidrielian city of Mekyrus. The lake, around 257,000 sq miles (665,000 km2), and holds more than 4,000 ft (1,220m) deep. The Treant Rain Forest, a forest of nomadic Treants, is usually located around it for the majority of the year, though they sometimes stray as far south as the Dundugoras during the winter.

Gobdiw River

The Gobdiw River (Lindjerblau: pronounced: GOHB-dihv; /ˈgobdɪv/) is a river in Eidriel. The city Baraquish sits between it and the Diedun River to the north.

Great Continent

The Great Continent is the westernmost continent, ranging from mild, wet and temperate climates to cold, dry climates. Much of the continnent is very cold and in permanent darkness. The Minotaurs, Dwarves, Trolls, Ogres are orignated here. The two nations that make up the Great Continent are Vy Mirvë and Kahrim.

Hydratic Ocean

The coldest, westernmost ocean is known as the Hydratic Ocean, named for the large number of hydra that inhabit it. It borders the entirety of Vy Mirvë where its temperatures remain freezing and a portion of Lorelei where it is somewhat warmer as well.

Hyldian Steppe

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

Between the Dundugoras and Avennio Desert to the south and the Savanna of Raf to the north lies the Hyldian Steppe, named for the former nation Hyldia that once rested in the plains. The Hyldian Plains are risen highly nearest the Dundugoras and descend as they move further outward from them, decreasing as 4 to 10 feet (1-3m) high steps. Despite the descending land providing some difficulty in the terrain's passability, many of the steps are large, flat and sit far apart enough to fit entire blocks of buildings, and sometimes towns.

Kalle Mountains

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

Kensillan Continent

The Kensillan Continent is the southernmost continent of Vereva. Its climate has the widest range throughout the four seasons, as most continents only show a significant change in the winter season. The Humans and the Gnomes are widely accepted to have originated here, although there is no conclusive evidence. Kensilla is made up of only one nation called Lorelei.

Leek Aç'üçë

The second largest lake of Vereva is located in the far west of the Great Continent in the city of Aç'üçë. Leek Aç'üçë (Mirvermish: pronounced: LUHK a-SUUUH-say; /ˈləːk æˈsəːːse/) is frozen under 4.5 ft (1.4m) of ice and permafrost year around, though it provides food and fresh water for those in the surrounding area. The lake is said to freeze fast enough to require maintaining its 77 official fishing holes a daily job.

Lehk Dëcrjajn

Lehk Dëcrjajn (Kahremish: pronounced: LAYK dayrth-RYAHN; /ˈlek dɛɪɹðˈkɹɑːn/) is the largest lake of Kahrim and third largest lake of Vereva. It is located in a small valley between the Rjedjec Sjërrjedjec and the Kalle Mountains.

Lehk Melijki

Lehk Melijki (Kahremish: pronounced: LAYK muh-LEE-kih; /ˈlek məˈliːkɪ/) is the second largest lake of Kahrim and fourth largest lake of Vereva. It is located in Masrë, where it is currently under Bevesdane control.

Lekhuun Leek

(Mirvermish: pronounced: luh-KOON LUHK; /ləˈçuːn ˈləːk/)

Levink River

The Levink River (Kahremish: pronounced: luh-VIHNK; /ləˈvɪnk/) is the northern branch of the Zevro River. It stretches north at its break about 50 miles east of Masrë and heads northward into the Rjedjec Sjërrjedjec.

Lorelwood

Lorel Falls

Luring Rock

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

On the easternmost regions on the Kensillan Continent in the country of Lorelei, several natural crystal forests filled the plains. Collectively called the Luring Rock, the forests shone brightly and acted as beacons to travelers as far as 100 miles (161km) away. The crystal forests, now missing from the lands of Kensilla, are believed to have largely died off on the continent sometime before the Trail to Kensilla, though few crystal trees still exist ther.

Mencza

Merida Desert

P'ödy River

The P'ödy River (Mirvermish: pronounced: POOOO-dee; /ˈpuːːdiː/) is a river of southern Vy Mirvë near Çotywol. During the winter months, many fish mistakenly swim up the P'ödy River during their migrations into the Central Ocean through the Çy ffir vym Wöihodem.

Paamth Leek

(Mirvermish: pronounced: PAMT LUHK; /ˈpæːmʈ ˈləːk/)

Pernaçë

Phoenix Ocean

The Phoenix Ocean is the warmest, easternmost ocean facing the Diurnal Eye. Because it is in unyielding light, only receiving darkness for less than three months out of the year, its waters remain in a constant boil, much too hot for most species to inhabit. Species that may inhabit it usually have thick skins, scales or exoskeletons that can deflect or absorb massive amounts of heat. The Phoenix is known to inhabit areas around the Phoenix Ocean as its water is the only water of high enough temperature not to harm it. Only the eastern side of the Almsaundean Continent faces the Phoenix Ocean.

Pömt Mirvë

Template:Fantasy Landforms Infobox Vereva

The westernmost point on Vereva, called Pömt Mirvë is an ice cap and the coldest place of the world where the sun never shines. It exists in the location polar opposite of the Beating Heart. Pömt Mirvë is about 200 miles (322km) west of Vy Mirvë's westernmost city Aç'üçë, and may only reach temperature heights at just above -100°F (-73°C).

Pool of Palmirra

Räsevrhaar Leek

(Mirvermish: pronounced: reh-zuh-VWAR LUHK; /ɹɛzəˈvwæːɹ ˈləːk/)

River Kahrim

River Kahrim is a short river in southwest Kahrim that flows beside the Kalle Mountains.

River Rovëblau

River Rovëblau (Lindjerblau: pronounced: ROH-vayr-blou; /ˈɹoveɹblaʊ/) is a boiling water river of eastern Eidriel. The river, emptying into the Phoenix Ocean, travels through the Savanna of Raf into Mekyrus. The river's water is too hot to drink but the temperature makes renders the saline useless. Often, peoples using the river as their supply of water let it cool off in large pots before drinking but cook foods directly in the water using colanders.

River of the Ssāssa

The River of the Ssāssa (Bevesdani; pronounced: SAHN-suh; /ˈsɑnsə/)) is a river of Bevesta emptying into the Central Ocean at Cle. The river is known for hosting festivals where a dance called the Ssāssa is done.

Rjedjec Sjërrjedjec

Savanna of Raf


The Scar

The Scar is a group of islands of various sizes that makes up the smallest, central continent laying in the Central Ocean. The climate of The Scar is largely tropical and subtropical, and only the Aelves and the Centaurs are known to have originated here. The Scar is modernly one loosely populated nation called Avelamb.

Sea of Kensilla

The Sea of Kensilla is a body of water of the Central Ocean encompassed by Kahrim to the north, the Skypass to the west and Lorelei to the south. The waters of the Sea of Kensilla are tepid throughout most of the year but become cool enough for kraken and other species of the Hydratic Ocean to make their winter migrations into the Central Ocean in order to lay their eggs.

Semprino Pasture

Sidonwood

Skypass

The Skypass is a small fraction of the Kalle Mountains between Kensilla and the Great Continent that stretches across the seas splitting the Central and Hydratic Oceans. The way the Skypass' peaks stretch across the ocean suggest, to those who are religous that the two continents were one larger continent before the Coming of Bevesta. The Skypass is attributed to helping the Humans of the Great Continent majorly as their main means of transoceanic travel during the Trail to Kensilla.

South Ocean

The South Ocean is the second largest ocean, though its borders are indefinite. It borders cardinally south to Bevesta, for which it is named, and east and south to Lorelei. In the east, it flows into the Phoenix Ocean at an undefined point, though some oceanographers draw the line where the water begins to boil. In the southwest and northwest, it flows into the Hydratic and Central Oceans respectively.

Tirf River

The Tirf River (Mirvermish: pronounced: TEERTH; /ˈtirð/) is a river of northern Mirvë that crosses into Kahrim via a valley in the Kalle Mountains at Djinne.

Trade Ocean

The Trade Ocean is the northermost ocean of Vereva. Alike the Central Ocean, its waters are mostly tepid year round.Its name derives from its use as the main ocean of trade during the Age of the Giants in which northern nations of the Almsaundean Continent imported and exported goods through Kjerba to the Great Continent.

Treant Rain Forest

Trejksivo Fields

Vy Ffiroçtë

Weithe River

The Weithe River (Mirvermish: pronounced: vuh-EE-tuh; /vəˈiʈə/) is a mostly frozen river of western Vy Mirvë that empties into the Hydratic Ocean.

Westwood

Zevro River

The Zevro River (Kahremish: pronounced: zhuh-VROH; /ʒəˈvɹo/) is a river in south Kahrim, now under rule of Bevesta. It stretches from its mouth in Vercinjetoris to Masrë and branches out into the lesser rivers Levink and Djoho.
