The Trident lies at the southeasternmost point of the [[Elondor|Elondorian mainland]] between [[Cape Dejo]] and [[Dóiteán]] at the boundary between the seas of [[Timesthe]] and [[Avalia]]. It forms a part of the [[Sandôrian Highlands]] and marks the most prominent spurs in its eastern third. Mostly of granite and andesite, the coastline is composed almost entirely of cliffs. Rainfall in the area is scant and vegetation sparse, except in a small number of bays and caverns with minor freshwater streams or lagoons. It is known for its treacherous undeeps and harsh storms, which together with the [[Dóiteán|Undeeps of Dóiteán]] make the passage between the continents hazardous one for sea voyages, and travellers trying to and from [[Nelkon]] often prefer overland routes. | The Trident lies at the southeasternmost point of the [[Elondor|Elondorian mainland]] between [[Cape Dejo]] and [[Dóiteán]] at the boundary between the seas of [[Timesthe]] and [[Avalia]].

Later, the capes were known as the hazardous threshold to the east and the utmost boundary of the [[Iilish Empire]]'s conquests. Both [[Olgish Peoples|Olgish]] and [[Aribelians|Aribelian]] ships will still avoid a voyage past it. [[Iiles|Iilish]] ships are known to traverse the passage but dread it; only [[Kalparians|Kalparian]] and [[Feldin|Feldic]] ships readily circumnavigate the eastern coast of Seligon to reach Nelkon and the [[Arachans]]. | Later, the capes were known as the hazardous threshold to the east and the utmost boundary of the [[Iilish Empire]]'s conquests.
