Farwydd Basin

Farwydd Basin was a large low-lying basin that encompassed much of the east Danderillon. In the present day, it was only a large inlet with a small island in the centre, but the name Farwydd Basin was still used to refer to the area as a whole. It ran in through the Bay of Drowned Wishes, past Bracken and Kol Darim between the two mountain ranges of Auril's Girdle and the Dellings, and then curved south to the shores of Nisos, Taros and other ports. Many of the Danderillon's rivers flowed into it. 
Back in the early ages of history, it was more waterlogged and full of other lakes, making it a perfect location for villages like Anoq and Njeteve. 
Its name possibly originated from the Proto-Gildegran ᕙᕐᕕᑦ (varvit) meaning 'wide', in reference to the valley. This name came about in at least the -8000s and likely remained similar until the Nisosian establishment on the shores of the inlet in the -2200s, where it slowly morphed. Varvit became Farvyd which became Farwýð when the Rakkimarrans had something to say about it in the -1800s.
