Shirdhain Lumeais borders the city of Bryndyd and includes the Archducal Treasury Towns.

Shirdhain Lumeais [anglicized pronunciation: /ˈʃirðən ˈlumɨʃ/] is the name of large peninsula which was anciently dominated by the walled city of Bryndyd. Archeologers believe evidence shows that it has been inhabited continuously since at least the eighth millennium before Salmakhamer. The oldest finds indicate occupation by common giants and their humanlike subjects or slaves around 7600 AS. The name is Asbardian. The peninsula juts into the sea and experiences a rainy, Pallathantic climate much of the year with temperatures very rarely descending below freezing. The hills are very great but gentle and scattered with large rocks thought to have been deposited during the Age of Ice. Natural trees include oaks, pines, black pines, scots pines, juniper, yew, fir, spruce, ash, hazel, and birch. The lands are used to raise agricultural animals, especially sheep, cows, and horses. Crops are principally grains like wheat, barley, rye, and vineyards.
