Sarrentina Peninsula

The Sarrentina Peninsula or Istalian Peninsula (Istalian: Penisola Sarrentina, Penisola Istaliana) is the easternmost and the second smallest of the four large peninsulas of Majatra. It extends ~350 km (120 mi) from the Solentian border in the northwest to Capo della Trinità in the furthest point at south-east.

Politically and historically the Sarrentina Peninsula is divided in the region Padagna to the north-west, Trivendito to the north-east and Mezzodiurno to the south.

Trivendito
The northern Trivendito is covered by the Nayar Range, a chain of mountains which surrounds the North, forming a natural border with Solentia. From the mountain extends a large hilly foothills area sculpted by millennia of rivers flowing. The southern Trivendito instead is a pleasant and rich plains, irrigated by rivers flowing from the mountains Nayar throughout the year. Much of southern Trivendito was once time covered by extensive forests, today is a large agricultural and industrial area, while to the west there are several large lakes.

Padagna
The northern Padagna is similar to Trivendito, separated from Solentia by a mountain range too, the Mounts Akhayl, which continue also to south-east along the coast (the northern part is often called Northern or Solentian Massif). However, as one moves south through Padagna, after a limited hilly foothills area, the lush plains surrounded by the Akhayl become drier until it reaches the far south, occupied by the northern areas of the Great Central Depression, where extends the Pheykran desert, decidedly inhospitable exept for various oases and the northern rivers which flow into the Great Lakes, on the south-east at the border with Trivendito.

Mezzodiurno
Mezzodiurno is like Padagna, divided between the extreme north and the north, occupied by the southern offshoots of the Great Basin and by semi-arid plains, and the much more hospitable southern portion. Semi-arid plains in fact going south rise gently to a plateau occupying the entire southern portion and which rises further along the south-west coast where ends the chain of the Mounts Akhayl. Thanks to water courses coming from Akhayl and humid currents from the south, both the west and the east coast of Mezzosiurno and the Southern Highlands are prosperous regions protected by the aridity of the central lands.
