[edit] Geography of Artania
Artania is a rugged continent crisscrossed by highlands and two major mountain ranges.
[edit] Mountains
To the north is the Great Alpa Range which is divided into a series of smaller ranges, including the Kurmal Mountains in Aloria. The range is in the shape of a semi-circle and in the middle is the Great Central Valley of which Dundorf is the main beneficiary of its fertile soil.
Key:
Light Gray - 3,000 to 5,000 meters
Gray - 1,000 to 2,999
Yellow - 500 to 999
Light Green - 200 to 499 meters
Green - 0 to 199 meters
Blue - Rivers
Stretching along the southwest coast of Artania are the Artani Mountains. This range is the longest in Artania and is the most rugged. Emanating from the mountains are a series of highlands and low hills that have cut the lower countries up, making them relatively hard to farm. However, in Darnussia Mount Oykia, a relatively dormant volcano, has create extremely fertile soil along the southestern coast for almost 1,000 kilometers.
[edit] Major Rivers
Several major rivers flow through Artania. In the north, the River Ode winds down from the Great Alpas through the Great Central Valley before meeting the River Lahm, its tributary, and pouring into the Gulf of Ikradon. The River is over 4,000 kilometers long and serves as the only navigable water route to the center-north of the continent.
In the center of the continent runs the Orange River from the center northwest to the Verranderlijke Ocean. Just as the River Ode is the sole major water route in the north, the Orange is the only major route in the center-south.
Luthori once had an interest in creating a large canal connecting the two major rivers, however, it ias not yet come to fruitation.
