Mountains Of Gaeta 5

The continent of Gaeta 5 has two mountains groups. These mountains are elusive, difficult to detect, as world map does not show any significant texture differences with elevation and as they don't cast shadows on the map. Their evidence was proven with the use of altitude maps. Previous surveys did hardly detect them.

The mountains of Gaeta 5 are located far from the coast (which has shallow waters and large sandy beaches). They are located in West and in East ends of the continent.

With little exceptions, they don't look like mountains at all. However, the mountains of Gaeta 5 are the highest points on all Eastern Continents. There are no higher peaks in Corsica, Nautilus or Satori.

## List

The peaks are listed based on their elevation. If two peaks have the same height, they are displayed in alphabetic order.

* Dearheart (West) - 165 m
* Poidor (West) - 164 m
* Ischel (West) - 154 m
* Ardney (East) - 151 m
* Exitros (East) - 151 m
* Ghenyl (East) - 150 m
* Faarsign (West) - 144 m
* Deopyre (East) - 142 m
* Kilbert (East) - 138 m
* Girafol (West) - 126 m

## East Mountains

As seen on the altitude map, the East Mountains have a shape similar to letter *X*. Ghenyl Mountain is in the middle of the *X*. There are no roads in the area, but access is easy by using trails of Abandoned Land.

**South - East Ridge.** In South-East lies Ardney Peak (151 m). It rises around 40 m from the surrounding plateau and has smooth slopes. It is easy to climb. North from it, a very wide ridge extends in the nearby Juletardo sim. Despite altitudes reaching to 140 m, the area does not look at all like a mountain range. By following the range forward, one will reach the high peak of Ghenyl.

**North-West Ridge.** Ghenyl does not look like a mountain at all. Despite its huge elevation (150 m), it is very smooth and looks more like a flattered hill. More to North-West lies the peak of Exitros (151 m). Again, here the landscape is not spectacular, despite the huge elevation. The ridge continues North-West, but without any peak in sight. Elevation drops gradually and by the end of Vianustonic sim it reaches 100 m.

**South-West Ridge.** Far South-West, there is a large hill, Deopyre. Its summit is at 142 m high, 30 m above the surrounding plateau. A very flat range continues North-East. A small peak exists in the South-West corner of Kilbert sim (138 m). Altitude drops then to 124 m in Ghenyl sim, in what looks like a wide plateau. The Ghenyl peak then appears in front.

**North-East Ridge.** From Ghenyl Peak, there is a ridge that extends North-East. It has no peaks. It ends in Gillemonde sim. There, the elevation is 119 m (but without a peak), at least 40 m above the surrounding plateau.

**Sutras.** This is a hill, 115 m, located far to West from the mountains.

## West Mountains

They form a highly interrupted ridge from North to South. The central and most elevated part looks like a large plateau. There are no roads in the area, but access is possible by using parcels of abandoned land. The highest points on the continent are located here.

The northernmost peak is **Faarsign** (144 m high). It really looks like a mountain, rising much above the surrounding plateau. It is the only peak in Gaeta 5 that casts a shaddow on the map (even if it is extremely small).

The peak is connected with the rest of the mountains through a very wide ridge, which reaches lowest elevation in nearby Senibomb sim (107 m). Elevation rises to 132 m at the South end of Senibomb sim, but without a peak.

Further South lies **Ischel** sim. Here, one will find a large plateau with a ridge oriented East - West. The highest point is at 154 m high. but half of the ridge has an elevation of at least 150 m. For a traveler, this can be confusing and a compass is needed. One will tend to follow this small ridge, which ends sharply. If you keep following it in the same direction, you will reach the coast.

South from Ischel, one will find **Poidor** sim. There, elevation rises to 164 m. The mountains here have a flat top, but there are some steep grades on the sides. To South, the ridge widens and becomes a plateau with an elevation of 158 m.

There is one peak located West from Poidor. It is located in **Dearheart** sim and is 165 m high. It is an independent peak, connected to Poidor only by a very wide ridge. Its steep slopes make you really think that you are climbing a mountain. It is located very close to Helfell Infohub, which is at the coast.

South from Poidor, one can find a few peaks. Girafol (127 m) is a long hill. It continues towards East through Ubunil sim and reaches Tissela. However, this structure does not look like a mountain at all, it is a hill in all aspects.
