Nightlund
Nightlund is a human land that shares its western border with Solamnia. Nightlund is north of both Lemish and Throt, west of Estwilde, and southwest of Nordmaar. Major geographical features include the Dargaard Mountains on the eastern border with Estwilde, and the Vingaard River which runs the length of Nightlund’s western border and north to Kalaman. There is a large forested land of cypress trees west of the Dargaard Mountains called “The Grove”. Heavily wooded and mountainous, the land was never suitable for farming. Even before the Cataclysm, it was only sparsely populated.
Following the Chaos War, Dalamar moved the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas to Nightlund. There he surrounded it in a forest of cypress trees to cover it from the prying eyes of the Dragon Overlords. Also, the borders of Nightlund were expanded north to Kalaman and south to Gaardlund by Takhisis, to keep the presence of Lord Soth a secret while she planned her attack on Krynn.
Since the War of Souls, the perpetual darkness that has covered Nightlund is no longer there, exposing the lands to bright sunlight.
