Geography

Note: The above map have serious inaccuraties when compared to that used in the 3rd edition of Ravenloft.

Terrain

? The Vaesen Foothills of northwestern Nova Vaasa are the foothills of the Balinoks from vanished Markovia. They front the Shadow Rift.

Canyons

The Shadow Rift, the mother of all canyons

Woods

Note: wood are usually less than 1 mile square.

Lakes

The Kronov which never freezes

Communication

Rivers

Dnar River System

The Sydligdnar ("South Dnar River") is navigable, although not without difficulty in both directions owing to its current, with small ships between the Nocturnal Sea and the docks at Kantora. With the right winds, the Sydligdnar can be sailed. Otherwise it must be rowed. The Vaughn Dnar and the Dnar are too deep to be forded as they merge to form the Sydligdnar. Bridges consistent with small ships pose a manifest engineering problem, but none are mentioned, so ferry service for river crossings would make sense. A ferry service is known to exist between the docks of Kantora and the port of Guldstrand Beach on the sea at the foot of Egertus.

The Vaughn Dnar River is navigable, although surely with progressively smaller craft as one climbs past the Borchava River and the Trished River on the way to Liara. The Vaughn Dnar is not navigable in Tepest as its waters plunge through shallow but sinuous and boulder strewn gorges.

The East Timori Road remains on the south shore of the Vaughn Dnar from Kantora until just after the Trished River, inviting the hypothesis that at that point either the Vaughn Dnar becomes fordable or has a bridge thrown across it that doesn't greatly harm river traffic. To reach that point, the East Timori Road crosses the Borchava River, suggesting that the Borchava is either more fordable than the Vaughn Dnar or that a bridge thrown across the Borchava would do less harm to river traffic than one thrown over the Vaughn Dnar. In Liara there is at least one bridge over the Vaughn Dnar. There are four ancient stone bridges built over the Vaughn Dnar between the Tepestian frontier and Lake Kronov.

• The Trished River
• The Little Borchava River
• The Borchava River has as its tributary the Little Borchava River
• The Vaughn Dnar River has as its tributary the Trished River and Borchava River
• The Dnar River
• The Sydligdnar ("South Dnar River") has as its tributaries the Vaughn Dnar River and the Dnar River

Roads

• The East Timori Road runs from Egertus, through Kantora and Liara, and into Tepest where it is cut short by the [Shadow Rift]].

Note: Efforts, subject to continual sabatoge, are underway to cut a road through Tepest and Keening to the Strigos Road in Darkon.

Authority

Casus belli

Past

• The Great Upheavel sparked an inquistion against the fey who were its "cause"

Present

• Repeated attacks by an unidentified party (or parties) on Vaasi efforts to cut a road through Tepest into Keening and on to the Strigos Road in Darkon. There is discussion among the Nova Vaasans of the need to civilize the Tepestani.
