Nayar Range

The Nayar Range is a mountain chain in eastern Majatra which stretches for about 650 kilometres from northeast to southwest forming a natural boundary between the Istalian region of Trivendito and the Solentian states of Frostland and Elsa, previously known as Shinatawa and Tesuhen. It is part of the Dinaric Orogenesis which also includes the Dinaric Mountains, the Heraklian Alps and the several Deltarian highlands and mounts.

Despite many consider the Nayar Range extending alongside the whole border between Istalia and Solentia, the Nayar Range is divided from the Northern Massif, part of the Akhayl Mountains, by the large Sarrentina Valley. Actually, despite this anthropological geographic division, the two mountain ranges are part of the same geological system, with the Sarrentina Valley excavated by a huge glacier hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The range is heavily forested (deciduous forest up to 1,500 metres, coniferous forest up to 2,500 metres and alpine meadows above the tree line) and the protected valleys of the eastern part allowed the formation of the Eastern Temperate Rainforest or Nayar Rainforest, very attractive destination. The Nayar Range is relatively young as mountain range and this explain the hight of its peaks among them the higher is Mount Tonante which reachs 4697 m. The Nayar in fact present extensive glaciers and permanent snow-capped peaks. From the Nayar flow several rivers which in Istalia are divided between those which reach the eastern shores of Trivendito and those which flow in the Merevino River. The Nayar Range is a renowned destination for the invernal turism and sports activity.
