Cartographic Information
Lorwyn-Shadowmoor
The Wanderwine River runs from Mount Tanufel in the north through the southern tip of the lowlands.[1] Kinsbaile is situated at the center of the Wanderwine,[2] and sits on the banks of Lake Laightle.[3] The river bends to the west at Kinsbaile.[4]
Goldmeadow is also west of the Gilt-Leaf,[5] and north of Kinsbaile.[6] Meadowgrain Lawn lies about a half day’s ride from Kinsbaile, indicating it too is on the western side of Lorwyn.[7] Dundoolin is also located near Kinsbaile.[8]
East across the river is the Gilt-Leaf Woods, where Lys Alana lies, and beyond which is Glen Elendra.[9] Glen Elendra is to the south of Lys Alana.[10]
It is implied the Creakwood is part of or at least near the Wilt-Leaf Forest, as this is where the largest elf safehold, Caer Flur,[11] is located, as well as where Oona was buried (which stands to reason was close to Glen Elendra.[12]
Tanfell Plateau lies between Kinsbaile and the Murming Bosk on the Wanderwine River.[13] Tanfell, Kinsbaile, and the Bosk are in western Lorwyn, and coastal mountains lay beyond them.[14] The Murmuring Bosk is part of the largest contiguous forest on Lorwyn.[15] The Bosk is mentioned as being between Kinsbaile and the northern foothills. [16]
Mornsong Forest is located far to the north.[17] Arbor Morning is a city in this forest.[18]
Dauba Ravine is located on the western edge[19] of Porringer Basin,[20] which is along the Wanderwine River.[21] Dauba was between Rhys’s party and giant country to the north.[22]

- ↑ The Kithkin doun of Kinscaer [Kinsbaile] sat on the western banks of the Wanderbrine, perfectly situated as the nexus of trade and travel between the north and south halves of Shadowmoor. (Eventide, Chapter 7)
- ↑ Trading traffic buzzes around the docks of Lake Laightle, which fuels the town’s economy. (Lorwyn: First Light)
- ↑ “Very well,” the merrow said. “I will place you on the south side of the river—opposite from your village.” “I know on which side of the Wanderwine Kinsbaile sits.” (Morningtide, Chapter 7)
- ↑ "Maralen lives in Glen Elendra. It's meant to be impossible for outsiders to find. When you leave here, go dead east until you reach the Wanderwine River. Cross the river and walk until you see a great wood, with boughs like woven branches. That is the Gilt-Leaf Wood. Cut through the edges until you find a tributary that flows to the Wanderwine, then follow it back to the waterfall. Beyond and behind the waterfall, you'll find another stream. Follow this one to its source, and you'll come to Glen Elendra. Maralen is there, in the twilight palace." (Lorwyn Eclisped | Episode 3: Aweary of this Moon)
- ↑ “No, it is not,” Alloway laughed harshly. “It’s an insult. Why would good, honest kithkin throw in with elves from the perilous east when their own flesh and blood calls to them from Kinscaer in the warm, safe south?” (Shadowmoor, Ode to Mistmeadow Jack)
- ↑ Once a year, each clachan sends its most worthy knight to meet on Meadowgrain Lawn, a sanctified clearing a half-day's ride from Kinsbaile. The hopefuls engage in a series of tests to prove their valor, grace in combat, and jackmanship. The winner of the contests is inducted into the Knights of Meadowgrain, the most respected order of kithkin knights in the world. (The Book of Kith and Kin)
- ↑ These boggarts had tasted both blood and battle in their attack on Kinsbaile and had developed a liking for it. They were now drifting toward Dundoolin, the largest Kithkin village in the region after Kinsbaile and one safely within the elves’ reach. (Lorwyn, Chapter 3)

- ↑ Their impromptu camp was perhaps half a mile from Glen Elendra, and Rhys found it hard to believe they’d not yet been noticed. When they approached, he saw the reason why. A thousand, perhaps tens of thousands of Fae were rising into the sky and headed north—directly toward Cayr Ulios [Lys Alana]. (Eventide, Chapter 19)
- ↑ Caer Flur: This is the largest safehold in Shadowmoor, within the Creakwood. Elves of every clan helped build this safehold when Caer Flur was established after the fall of Oona. In Lorwyn, it is Lys Gaerlinon. (Planeswalker’s Guide to Lorwyn Eclipsed)
- ↑ In the Grove of the Ashblossoms within the Creakwood, the trees bloom with a peculiar ashen hue. The grove grew around the plot where Queen Oona was buried after her defeat. A few faeries revere the grove, believing the trees contain a portion of her spirit. (Lorwyn: First Light)
- ↑ He immediately had to grasp the cool, spongy lip of the ferry as they entered a patch of tiny whitecaps kicked up by the winds coming down off the Tanfell Plateau. “ (Lorwyn, Chapter 13)
- ↑ … the coastal mountains to the west were in plain view. (Morningtide, Chapter 11)
- ↑ Deep in the heart of Lorwyn's single largest contiguous forest lies the Murmuring Bosk, a truly ancient grove of trees. The trees are not treefolk (they haven't undergone "the Rising," as the treefolk call it), but treefolk can empathically understand them as though they were speaking. The Bosk is of particular interest to planar travelers seeking wisdom and information on the history of Lorwyn, as it holds thousands of years of forest life. (Lorwyn Survival Guide)
- ↑ Eidren undid the ribbon and unrolled a detailed map of western Lorwyn on the table. “At my suggestion, the Nightshade daen flooded the region between Kinsbaile and the Murmuring Bosk with his long-range scouts. They spotted Rhys here just hours ago. By all accounts, he and his ragged little band are heading north toward the foothills. (Morningtide, Chapter 9)
- ↑ She wore clothing cut in the style and fashion of the far northing Mornsong tribe, elves rightfully famed for their hauntingly beautiful voices rather than their skills on the forest trails-but an elf was an elf. (Morningtide, Chapter 1)
- ↑ She’d seen their likes back home in Arbor Morning but not this thick. (Lorwyn, Chapter 1)
- ↑ “Head straight for the ravine on the west edge of Porringer. Go now.” (Morningtide, Chapter 9)
- ↑ Where the Porringer Valley abuts the foothills?” … I remember a bridge spanning the Dauba Ravine. (Morningtide, Chapter 9)
