Peilaš is a continent in the world of Akana, with its mainland's northern- and southernmost reaches at approx. 60°N and 25°S and its western- and eastern- at approx. 92°W and 28°E. The continent is centered on a large cordillera, which runs from its eastern tip bowing to the south roughly east-northeast to 25°, where it turns north and grows broader and taller until 50°N, from where it runs east narrowing to the eastern end of the continent. It has expanses of lower land as a large peninsula in the far east, to either side of the mountains in the middle of the cordillera, and another, much larger one extending south from the east-northeast-going mountains.
