Geography

Navarre is dominated by the Navarre Basin a huge, deepwater inland sea that forms the sheltered anchorage for the port itself, and the parrellel ranges of the Carasian and the Whitestone Mountains to the south and north of the city respectively.

Districts

Because of its great size, Navarre is actually made up of many smaller sized townships and districts which operate as distinct social-economic units within themselves, containing self-sufficient communities with regard to residential and commercial needs. This is an important fact to consider when a person wishes to understand how an urban conurbation the size of Navarre actually functions under the weight of such a significant population. There is not actually a City of Navarre in the traditional sense, with the name of the metropolis being derived in colonial times from the fortress town of Navarrok.
