A map of the major bodies of water within and surrounding Alenarith.

Alenarith borders the Medi Sea along its eastern coast, the Stony Sea at its north, the Merediem Sea to its southwest, and the Leona Sea and Southern Sea to its west. The nearest continents are Deluvia to its west, the Middle Archipelago to its north, and the Eastern Continent to its east.

Climate

Alenarith's climate is that of temperate biomes in the north and cold biomes in the south. The northern area is known for vast grasslands, steppes, and plains, as well as dense forests, and steep mountain ranges. The south is known for dense spruce tundras, steep snowy peaks, and some small patches of taiga forests.

Bodies of Water

Gulf of Gensokyo

A large gulf and major waterway in southeastern Alenarith. It is surrounded by Gensokyo, Truidencia, Wolken, and Cortesia Del Mar's Querocia exclave. The Teo River and George Strait flow into it.

Danzilona Bay

The Danzilona Bay sits within the eastern Medi Sea, between Danzilona and the Eastern Shining Isles.

Leona Bay

A large bay along Dalgon's western coast that flows into the Leona Sea.

Murphia Falun

Sitting between Estalia's exclave, Crystalis, and Aldenfult is Murphia Falun, an almost fully-surrounded bay that feeds into the Southern Sea and Middle Ocean.

Lake Biwa

Lake Biwa[1] is an inland lake that borders Doom City, Nara, the Arsenio Pact, and Danzilona. It feeds into four rivers, the Ebi, Teo, and Beartooth.

Lake Suwa

Lake Isanagi

An inland lake in Gensokyo to the east of Lake Suwa that feeds into many major Gensokyo rivers, and is where the Ebi River flows into. It is east of Gensokyo's capital, Tenseimiya, which is situated between both Lake Suwa and Isanagi.

Silver Mountains

The Silver Mountains are a major mountain range, and the largest range in Alenarith. Named after the silver color that comes from its diorite deposits, the range stretches from southeastern Doom City, ventures south over West Danzilona and the Teo Caverns, then west over Nara and Dalgon, finally ending in southeast Crystalis.

The highest summit of the mountain range is Mount 'Av-a-rest, at y195. The mountain lies within Nara's eastern Ebi territory.

The Silver Mountains within Dalgon are known as Farthen Dür.

Regional Names

While the majority of citizens and nations of the continent call their home Alenarith, there are those who use alternative names outside the naming convention in addition or exclusively. Noteable users of alternative names is the nation of Truidencia who uses the name "kova" as their official name for the continent. The name is derived from the word "Chuowa" which originates and is used in Gensokyo, but which has also been used by citizens of Danzilona on occasion. A line of railway bears the name.
