Geography

The Dragon River winds its way south through the most northern part of the country. It originates in the Great Basin Lake in Doval. The Dovalians have an entirely different name for that river.

Climate

The climate here is generally mild, though it has been known to get fairly hot on occasion. The terrain here is widely varied, though there is a great deal of forested land. There are hilly areas in the southernmost part of the country. The Shadaran mountain range dominates the land at the most northern part of the border Telvan shares with Zalityu. Hurricanes and such similar storms are common along the coast.
