A QUICK TOPOGRAPHY
Separating Ferelden from Orlais to the west are the Frostback Mountains. The southeast holds the Brecilian Forest, where a large clan of Dalish elves can be found. To the far south are the formidable forests and swamps of the Korcari Wilds. To the north of the Wilds lie the Southron Hills and the Hinterlands. The central region of Ferelden contains Lake Calenhad and the Bannorn. The Bannorn is effectively the "bread-basket" of Ferelden, containing the most arable land. In the far northern region are The Coastlands, which include more swamps and forests. Ferelden's coastline faces the Waking Sea to the north and the Amaranthine Ocean to the east.
The Imperial Highway (the main road you'll be taking) enters Ferelden in the Frostback Mountains via Gherlen's Pass and circles Lake Calenhad and the Bannorn. Then one branch ends in Denerim and another at Ostagar which is also the Highway's southmost point. The southern hills and plains south of the Korcari Wilds are still occupied by the Avvar. Small Dalish clans can also be found travelling through the nation.
