Locales: The Great Dragon Mountains.

Just as here on Earth, in the world of Evandar there are continental mountain ranges. The continent that the kingdom of Evandar is located is divided into thirds. One third is desert away to the west of Evandar. One third is relatively temperate which is where Evandar, Ranyth and several other countries are located. The final third is off to the east of Ranyth that is grasslands.

A massive chain of mountains divides the temperate zone in half and then spreads along the lower edge of the polar region (which is progressively more tundra like as you move away from the mountains) from the small grassland plain on the western edge of Evandar to the distant ocean at the far eastern end of the grasslands east of Ranyth. A small spur of mountains extends into mid-western Evandar. Another, somewhat larger spur of mountains extends down along the far eastern edge of the grasslands. The extensive chain of mountain ranges is known as the Great Dragon.

The various ranges that make it up have names pertaining to parts of a dragon except for the small spur that extends into the mid-western region of Evandar. The Dragon's Teeth is the portion of the northern range that moves from northern Tarsus into northern Ranyth. The Dragon's Spine extends from the southern edge of the Dragon's Teeth to the south until it reaches the sea. The Dragon's tail is a very long range that is actually made of several smaller mountain ranges (much like the Appalachian mountains here in the USA).

It moves from the north-eastern edge of the northern most duchy of Ranyth east across the border of the great grasslands. The spur that extends down along the far eastern edge of the grasslands where the continent meets the ocean is unnamed by the peoples of the Evandar-Ranyth region. The ocean is considered mythical by many. That, however, is something for another day.
