East of the Cëlac and the marshland hemming the course of the River Nellac, Belkondíl finds its most lush and fertile region, the Edhennín, homeland of the Western Sosks and granary to most of the old Olgish domain. The most important eastern harbour, Iliston, is located here, as is the old and symbolically significant border town of Singrall and the contended-for Isle of Golim. They are bordered to the north by Oakshire, the last autonomous Soskish polity of Elondor, and to the south by the uplands of Morineb. | East of the Cëlac and the marshland hemming the course of the River Nellac, Belkondíl finds its most lush and fertile region, the Edhennín, homeland of the Western Sosks and granary to most of the old Olgish domain.

On its southern side, the costline of Belkondíl forms a large bight, the White Sea, bordered in the east by Corbin and the island of Kerrvaryn and in the west by the Noldorinian peninsula, the last refuge of the Noldorinian people before the complete disappearance around the 15<sup>th</sup> century B.E.B. The shores of the White Sea harbour several of Belkondíls most important port cities including Corbin, Arenys, and Eldab, and with Mendúrad on the island of the same name one of the most significant spiritual sites of the Western Church. Both of the great rivers flow into it, the Cëlac in the south of Gliron, east of the Tardennin, and the Brethan at the Brethan Delta south of Imban. The two most extensive mountain chains of Belkondíl are also located in this area, the Olgish Highlands inbetween Cëlac and Brethan, and the Harking Hills west of the lower Brethan. The latter are significant mostly through the abundance of tin at their northern tip, around the mining town of Eres. | |||
