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 [[Tár-Noldorin|Noldorinian]] peninsula, the last refuge of the [[Noldorinians|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 (City)|Corbin]], [[Arenys]], and [[Eldab]], and with [[Mendúrad]] on the island of the same name one of the most significant spiritual sites of the [[Western Olgish Church|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 [[River Brethan#Delta|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]]. | 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 [[Tár-Noldorin|Noldorinian]] peninsula, the last refuge of the [[Noldorinians|Noldorinian people]] before the complete disappearance around the 15<sup>th</sup> century B.E.B.

The moorland west of the Brethan is largely uninhabited; only three major cities can be found in this region: [[Narn Aran]] at the Brethan bridge, [[Talis]], the site of the fatal final battle of the [[Geranian War]], and [[Belkison]], capital of [[Tarébras | The moorland west of the Brethan is largely uninhabited; only three major cities can be found in this region: [[Narn Aran]] at the Brethan bridge, [[Talis]], the site of the fatal final battle of the [[Geranian War]], and [[Belkison]], capital of [[Tarébras]] and provisional capital of [[Kingdom of Geran|Geran]] L.R. 686‒703.
