New Hope Peak is one of the shorter mountains on the island, though it's still a good size, being more stout than it is tall. It's centered near the middle of the island and has a large lake that takes up most of the top portion. On one side of the lake are the weyrling barracks for the younger weyrlings. On the other side of the lake are the canddiate barracks. The lake turns to a river which eventually becomes a waterfall. The river that it flows into below goes both from the peak and into it, where it stops in a large cavern holding a small cool water lake. Around that lake are a variety of small hot springs. A passage from that cavern leads to another cavern on the other side of the peak which houses the Hatching sands, heated by the hot springs below the ground. The largest weyr on this peak belongs to whichever dragon's rider who's dragon is occupying the sands at the time. Other smaller weyrs are found on the peak's sides, however these are for the older weyrlings and weyrlings who are waiting to turn 16 and not full riders.

Residency Peak is home to all the individuals who support the Weyr, be they Guild members or simply non-riders. It's the second smallest formally occupied peak on the island and basically looks like the holds, though it is in fact part of the Weyr. Residency Peak offers all the same amenities as Shan Peak, however on a much smaller scale as they are for informal events. This peak also houses the Weyr's human and dragon Infirmaries.

Minath's Peak is the site where golden Minath, New Caledonia's first Queen, betweened during a threadfall. The peak itself is the smallest peak on the island and is entirely unoccupied. It is, however, utilized for training and storage, holding the overflow materials that riders might need. It has a ledge that houses the cows and other beasts sent there for hunting by the dragons, where they are allowed to free graze and are supplied with a small, rain-fed lake, though the ledge itself is fenced.

Eight minor holds total look to Shan Hold. They include the Island River Minor Hold.

(The are seven unnamed holds currently.)

The Cascading Lakes are the pride and joy of the Shan Hold territory. Located south of Shan Hold proper, they are a series of lakes which start in the mountains and move down to the foot hills on the east side of those mountains before eventually joining a large lake which drains out to the ocean on the west. They also include many mini-waterfalls, thus the name "Cascading Lakes". A cave above one of these lakes also serves as an alternative weyr for the senior gold pair when they are not staying at Shan Peak.

There are six minor holds beholden to Sydir Hold. They include Thean Hold, Roma Hold, Took Hold, and others. Roma Hold also serves as the main port and shipyard for the territory.

(There are currently three unnamed holds.)

Sydir Lake is the islands largest, and deepest, lake. It lies below sea level and as such is fed by both the ocean and a smaller lake from a nearby mountain. It's partially salt water and, with no outlet, is prone to flooding. There is, however, good fishing in the lake and even better sailing and swimming weather, as the surface recieves only light winds.

There are three minor holds beholden to Nyta Hold, including Brandy Hold.

(The other two are currently unnamed.)

There are two minor holds beholden to Miner Hold. They are Tauth Hold and Kuni Hold.

The Rift is a long canyon which starts on the western coast and moves south east until its almost to the middle of Miner Hold territory. Originally, the Rift was comprised of hills and low lying mountains, however these were destroyed and replaced by the canyon following the 1164 earthquake. Now, it is filled with water. Swimming here is highly discouraged, as there are many rip currents, rocks, and other hazards, and so the area is technically considered off limits. However, some of the island's youth consider cliff diving into the Rift a Rite of Passage for those who survive.
