These are geographical features that play an important role in the war between good and evil in Edradria, largest continent in Ainann. Some need better names, some need further development and un-cliche-ing. That is where I need your help, though I won't bore you with all the boring parts such as when it was built, unless you want it.

EDRADRIA:

Cair Anor: Cair Anor is the focal point between the forces of Lyrianur and those of Malxor. It is a city built upon the mountain Lyranvel, and its citadel encompasses the twin peaks, Pren Soel and Pren Lyan. Cair Anor has ten walls, including the citadel, that climb ever higher upon the sides of the mountain. The mountains around it look like two horse shoes back to back, one protruding into the ocean, the other onto land. Where the two horse shoes meet, is a smaller range that the city is built on. It is on Mt. Lyranvel that Malxor and Lyrianur had their first showdown. It has been besieged five major times, once in Dur Greden, once in Dur Verdwel, once in Dur Regendel, and twice in the Three Week War. It is also where the ships to Evenfar leave from.

Tagor: Tagor is a monument to the skill of the Dwendrel in the time of Dur Greden. It is located on the Eastern side of the Mountains of the Guard. It is perfect for surviving a mild siege, but not a determined assault. It's been besieged countless times, once in each of the three great wars, and numerous times by Arin raiders. There's a semi-circular keep in front of the pass as well as a wall across the pass. There's a larger wall around the bottom of the mountain. It's on Rhoronen land and is used primarily by the Rhoronens.

Essesea: This is a small settlement and headquarters for the Order of the Ivory Horn. It is on the North-West coast in the Northern Moors. It consists of three longhouses for living in, a smithy, a stable, several fields, and a central building for official Order business.

Bellon: This abandoned and ruined city was created in the time before Time began. This was the original capital for the Ainann before Malxor's betrayal. It was a city of graceful arches, thin spires, and shining walls. Now, the arches have crumbled, the spires have fallen, and the walls weathered to a crumbly gray.
The city is located in the middle of the Barrow hills, a region at the Southern end of the Apoligen mountains.

Golgornexus: This labyrinthine city is the ruined base of Malxor after his betrayal. It is located on a subcontinent North of the Norther part of the Apoligen mountains. It is surrounded on the other sides by the frigid waters of Halcroix bay. It was rebuilt for Dur Regendel.

Cacarocth: This barren wasteland fills the South-East peninsula, surrounded by dark and foreboding mountains, and is home of Exera. From here, he plans his attack on the rest of Edradria so that he might take over and give it to Malxor, saving himself from the condemnation. In this wasteland lie Grakden Mur, Exera's dark replica of Bellon, as well as many encampments for his armies.

Any feedback, criticism, ideas, questions, are welcome. I am quite proud of Edradria and could talk about it for hours.

You described it so well, I can really imagine what it looks like! I get a good picture in my mind. I can't think of any ideas, you have seem to have thought it out really well :) I'll let you know if I can think of anything though ;)

Thanks. I have spent a lot of time on Edradria, probably close to a hundred hours.

Alright, I can get a map, it's just a bit cut off along the bottom.

Here's most of the map.

Cacarocth is South of the mountains you see at the bottom right hand corner.

I like it a lot! Nice detail. Is this nearly the whole world or just one continent?

Wow, that's really good. :) I really like the mountains. (Nice compass, by the way :D)

It's just one continent, there are four more that I haven't got a detailed map made of yet. I've been working on Ainaan since fifth grade.

Thanks, it took a little experimenting to get the mountains the way I like them. The compass took a little work too.

Oh, on the bottom right corner which has been cut off, I believe, there's a city called Secastel Point.
