Geography

The Northern Continent has varied geography.

Topography & Geology

The East Coast of the landmass incorporates a coastal plain. There are also many islands in the Northeast. These are constructed of clays, sand, gravels, and shale-limestone composites. The islands are low and plainlike, but some have low, eroded mountains. Sandbars are common at the Mid-Oceanic latitudes. Corals become evident to the south. West of the Coastal Plain are the Arvon Mountains, a range of mountains, hills, and piedmonts, that feed numerous small and large rivers. They are of old, faulted metamorphics.
