Elondor is located immediately north of the [[Nokim|continent of Nokim]], mostly separated by the [[Timesthe|Sea of Timesthe]], but at their closest point, the [[Seligonian Trident]], only about 7.5 [[Units of Measurement|Olgish Leagues apart]]. It spans just under 80 Olgish Leagues east to west between the seas of [[Avalia]] and [[Runion]] and just over 50 Olgish Leagues north to south, giving it an upper-central position, entirely in the northern hemisphere, between the continents of [[Eren]] and Nokim. The continent has a vaguely triangular shape between its corner points at [[Tár-Noldorin]], the [[Allalond]], and the [[Seligonian Trident]], with the [[Erendál|Erendál Peninsula]] emerging in its northeast and forming a fourth tip of land. An S-shaped mountain chain comprised of the [[Míbar-Hûrind]], the [[Reknayan Mountains]], and the [[Seven Rivers]], and extended by the [[Erendál|Erendál Mountains]], the highlands of [[Belkondíl]], and the mountains of [[Seligon]], cuts Elondor in half, separating the northeastern, Avalian from the southwestern, Runian part. It has three major inland sees, the [[Kalparian Sea]] in the northwest and the [[White Sea]] and the [[Gulf of Seligon|Bight of Loskilón]] on its southern shores. | Elondor is located immediately north of the [[Nokim|continent of Nokim]], mostly separated by the [[Timesthe|Sea of Timesthe]], but at their closest point, the [[Seligonian Trident]], only about 7.5 [[Units of Measurement|Olgish Leagues apart]].
