The Mwangi Expanse

Geography

The Mwangi Expanse is bordered to the north by the lands of Rahadoum, Thuvia, and Osirion; to the east are Katapesh, Nex, Alkenstar, and Geb; and to the west by the Shackles and the Arcadian Ocean.

The region is dominated by Lake Ocota, the numerous rivers which drain into the lake—mightiest of which is the Vanji River—and the Mwangi Jungle which surrounds them. However, there are two other jungles—the Kaava Lands in the southwest, and the Screaming Jungle in the southeast. The two other major lakes are Terwa Lake and the Lake of Vanished Armies.

The Barrier Wall mountains mark the Expanse's northern border, while the Brazen Peaks and the Shattered Range lie on the eastern border. The Kho-Rarne Pass links the region with Osirion, while the Ndele Gap leads into Nex. The Gorilla King's forces used tunnels beneath the Shattered Range to raid Alkenstar, but following the highly successful raid of 4690 AR, the forces of Alkenstar collapsed the tunnels. The other significant highland regions are the Terwa Uplands and the Bandu Hills.
