Editing Akhentour (section)

=== Geography ===

==== Location and Borders ====
Akhentour is located in western Dorian, and is the smallest of the three official countries there. It is bordered on the west by the Sorukia Gulf and the Neverender. To the north is the Frostbite Taiga and the Frigid North. To the east and south are the Fang Mountains.

==== Geology and Topography ====
The majority of Akhentour is made up of plains that gradually slope westward toward the coast. The Frostbite Taiga in the north is split by the Frozen Cliffs, which extend from the Fangs westward to the ocean, where they then turn right to become the coastline for the Frigid North's western side. A vast conglomeration of foothills, famous for being inhabited by dozens of halfling tribes, extend westward from the Fangs. The Painted Hills make up the northern part of central Akhentour, while Karsec Hills extend further from the southern Fangs and are home to the orcs and a vast array of mines and quarries.

Akhentour is dominated in the center by the Diomedes, a deciduous forest that once extended throughout the entire land south of the Taiga, but has since been heavily deforested, mainly in the south. In the far south, Garrod is surrounded by the Deadwood, which was formerly Garrod Forest before Alrenn's forces sucked the life from the area. Since Alrenn's death, the Garrod Natural Conservatory has begun reforesting procedures with the aid of archdruid Bravan Tesserani.

Northern Akhentour is dominated by Lake Fatu and the coniferous Kavonne Wood. Beyond the shoreline to the west lies Andala Island, which is uninhabited.

==== Climate ====
The climate of Akhentour is mostly warm, especially in the south, and drier than in Morentar, but not as dry as Teveren. The land is known for large storm cells, particularly in the north as the cold north winds battle the warmer southern winds. Most sailors prefer to sail south along the shoreline from Kavonne, rather than straight west, as the northern turn of the Neverender is much more treacherous than the south.

==== Administrative Regions ====
Since the formation of Pax Ultima, Akhentour has been divided into three administrative regions, known as provinces. The new Charter recognizes the Frigid North as its own sovereign land, but not its own nation, as the tribes of the north did not wish to establish nationhood. The three provinces are:

'''Cercida, or Northern Akhentour.''' Named after Avred Cercida, the archbishop who founded the Temple of the Gods, Cercida is bordered by the cliffs to the north and latitude line 43°N extending east from the ocean to the southern edge of Lake Fatu, then following its shoreline to the Fatu River before breaking south to follow the Urster River to the Fangs.

'''Diomedes, or Central Akhentour.''' Encompassing the land south of the demarcation of Northern Akhentour's southern border, to the Oste River.

'''Stonnet, or Southern Akhentour.''' Encompassing the land south of the Oste River to the eastern and southern Fangs. Named after the city of Stonnet and the surrounding Stonnet Fields.

Each province has a capital, and set of provincial laws that fall under the purview of greater country law.

==== Overseas Territories ====
Akhentour currently has no overseas territories that it governs officially.
