This is an old revision of the document!
A first picture of the geography of Ur(r) would be something like this:
The climate of the region is a temperate continental one. The mountains do not have a permanent ice cover. Sometimes a weather front becomes stationary in the mountains meaning that it rains for longer periods. The big and small river are snow rivers. Hence, flooding in the poorer quarters of Ur(r) may happen from time to time. The city of Ur(r) is at about 300 meters above average sea level.
Yendor is located to the west of Ur(r) at about 2 weeks travel. This means that the invasion is coming from the north west.
There are larger peaks among the mountains of the Longbeards namely the Silver Mountain (because the Longbeards delve mithril under it) and the other is called Mount Emerald, where they can mine precious gems. Together they are known as The Metal Mountains or by their Gnomish nickname, The Breasts. This is not a name to use within earshot of the Longbeards. The Gnomes live on and under a mountain chain with an active volcano whose Gnomish name reflects its purpose: Mount Central Heating.
The hills where the Redbeards live are also known by a different name namely the Paths of the Giants. Nobody knows why.
