Geography of Krishkan

==Ered Arania==
The Mountains of Arania separate the Duchy of Krishkan from the Royal Territory of Ardor. Various towers and fortresses line the peaks, dating back from the days when Morrim attacks were frequent. The Krishkan generally avoid them, as they are fearful of the griffons who make their home there. The exception, of course, are the Knights of the Bear, who desire to train the griffons in the fashion of Ardanian knights. So far, two have fallen from the backs of griffons and broke their legs, one was dropped from a great height and broke his back and another had his arm severed by a beak.
==Ered Duna==
The Ered Duna are the westernmost border of Krishkan. There are a few small Dwarven settlements deep under the mountains. Small clans of Vulfen, chased from the foothills, make their homes in caves and forests here- the Vulfen, whilst clever, are small in number, and rarely trouble the large towns. Occasionally the Vulfen flock together to attack Morrim villages, killing and eating all within.
==Morrim Heights==
These hills and foothills and steppes are generally unsuitable for farming, although the thousands of valleys have potential for irrigation. The tall hills are scattered with forests, rife for hunting, and a thousand rivers cascade down the rugged heights. The area is still untamed after all these years, and wolves, boars and bears are abundant, as are snakes and other dangerous creatures. The Morrim are careful not to over- hunt, as they understand the importance of maintaining the numbers of the animals. Without them, they would starve. The hills, steppes and valleys are filled with small Morrim villages and hamlets, as well as the ruins of Ardanian farmsteads.
==The Wolfswater River==
The Wolfswater is the only decent-sized river in Krishkan (though there are thousands of streams and tributaries). As it progresses though the Morrim Heights, it tumbles over hundreds of waterfalls, many up to 50' high. A beautiful place indeed, it is spanned by many stone bridges which lead to Krishkani. Salmon is common in the south, and can often been seen leaping up the waterfalls.
==Morrim Road==
This road starts just south of Thara-Pata, where it branches from the South Road, and heads to Krishani. The road is hard-going, winding up, down and around mountains, and crossing several deep gorges and forests. On many occasions it bends back on itself, and at times grosses over precarious bridges and roads which are little more than stepping stones in the summer. Yet, the route is amongst one of the most scenic in Ardadain, and often Morrim hunters will escort travellers, protecting them, and sharing their company.
