The world of New Moon Bay

I'm back because why the hell not.  I figured I would drop some notes about my homebrew D&D setting, because I'm really enjoying the hell out of it.

The Basics: I have elves, dwarves, humans, halflings, firbolgs, and gnomes as my primary playable races.

Most elves live in New Moon Bay, which is a city on the coast about two weeks journey from the mountains called the Barrier Peaks, which I have modeled on the Sierra Nevadas.  The mountains run in a ridge from the northwest to the southeast. High in the northweste mountains there is a lake which I don't think I have named yet.

Not far from the lake, burrowing deep into the mountains, is the main dwarven city, called Dwarrowdelf. At the southeast end of the mountain range is the city of Auldminster, which is the main human city. In a bit of valley in the middle of the mountain range is Halfholt, a large halfling town.
