Indra River flows through the Summerlands starting at the River Ramesh and ending at the Sunahiri River. Summer Shores, Migrant's Bay, and Brother's Cove are bodies of water that touch the Summerlands.

The Great Forest ends west of River Ramesh. East of River Ramesh, south of Indra River, and west of Sunahiri River is the Moonlight Jungle, known for its silver-leaf jungle trees. The Black Lake is located in the Moonlight Jungle.

History
In 300 SM, the Five Great Lands were created.

The Massacre at Goldspire happened in 481 SM. Morvan Osmont, the Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Valley Pines, had his men assassinate the members of House Thoren and instilled House Ashmire as the new Lord Protector of the Summerlands. Lord Bryce Thoren, Lady Popeaila Naidu, and their children Cleophilia, Roland, Symon, and Alice were all believed to have perished. The massacre happened in Goldspire, the capital city in the Summerlands. Gloriana Thoren was in Maryere, the Mountain Realm, at the time and survived. This event was the immediate cause for the Single King's War.
