The Mountains of Mōrya compose the northwestern corner of the Reknaya, extending from Parka in the southwest to the Casgan in the northeast. Located at the break of the [[Celdic mountains|Celdic Bow]], they contain some of the highest and broadest peaks in the Reknaya and are considered its hardest region to navigate, with the [[Pass of Katna]] the only major crossing from their western to their isolated eastern side.

The mountain range itself is composed of five shorter arms, arranged in a shape resembling a five-pointed star:
* The Trans-Parkan Mountains (Olg. ''Lamparkam Binna'') form a sickle
* The Trans-Parkan Mountains (Olg. ''Lamparkaminna'') form a sickle from [[Parka]] towards the northeast, hemming the northwestern side of the [[Desert of Wat]] and separating it from the [[Valley of Parka]].
* The Northern Wat (Olg. 'Turvatta', in contrast to the 'Komvatta', or Southern Wat, which forms part of the [[Mountains of Mindeló]]) hems the Wat to its northern side, separating it from the [[Desert of Erkenma]]. The river [[Ārɔt]] rises from these highlands, forming the upper Ārɔt Valley to their north. To the southwest, they reach the fortifications of the [[Reknayan Wall]], at which point they are considered to fade into the [[Kernogori]].
* The Walled Mountains
