Ithildras

Written by CrazyJack

Ithildras is the region that sits in between Laédin to the Northeast, Mirkireth to the Southwest, and Northern Rondor to the Southeast. It is a beautiful land of rolling hills, swirling rivers, thriving grasslands, and lush forests, with farmsteads and small villages dotting the countryside. The region takes its name from the first Elven outpost in the region, the ancient Ithil Fortress, which lies in a crescent shaped mountain range called Isilmé Menniath (Moonlight Mountains) in the centre of the region. To the North and South of the range are two great rivers, the northernmost, the thalas river, coming from lake Eredir and the Laédin mountain range, and the southern, the ulles, or opal river coming from the great Opal Lake. Most of the regions major towns and cities are built along these two rivers. The great forest of Eredthal encircles lake Eredir and the surrounding area.
