FRV-Major Geographical Features

The Foam River Valley is almost completely surrounded by a long, almost rectangular chain of mountains called the Drakdar Mountains. The valley is about 600 miles east to west, and about 400 miles north to south. The only break in the Drakdar Mountains is in the northeast part of the valley. Once the mountain's foot hills end, the plain is very flat, except a large hill in the central part of the valley that the Foam River circles (frequently refered to as the great hill). The foot hills of the mountains are heavily wooded on all sides but the west side. The valley is a wide fertile plain, marked by several smaller rivers and lakes. The dominating feature of the valley is the Foam River. The river starts in the northwest part of the valley, fed by run-off from the mountain peaks. It runs through the foothills of the north branch of the mountains, where it is fed by several smaller rivers running out of the mountains. When it reaches the end of the mountain range, it swings to the south and then to the west, forms an almost perfect circle in the center of the valley, before heading back towards the northeast, where it skirts the north end of the east branch of the Drakdar Mountains before running into the sea. The city Caldur can be found in the small, mile wide gap in the circle that the river forms.
