|Geography=The Western Lowlands occupy the | |Geography=The Western Lowlands occupy the west and south of Balúrail: the land from the western coast east to the [[Diate River]] and its tributaries, and, east of the Diate, the coastal plain along the south coast of [[Gostiria]], which takes in the [[Egoaldigo Swamp]] and reaches north to just south of the Itanha Forest, where the [[Eastern Highlands]] begin. They include the peninsula of [[Ivaiê]] in the southwest and the [[Mifajene Reservation]] in the northwest. The land is largely peat bog, with patches of solid ground between the bogs and light forests scattered across the region. The drier ground is fertile and supports Tuzquão agriculture. Most of the rivers of the lowlands rise in the highlands and flow west and south to the sea. | ||
