The Kingdom of Ensor is a long, and relatively narrow country lying in the far southwestern extent of Ruvera, in what is known as the Ensorian Peninsula.
Though the distances between the northwest and southeast corners of the kingdom are great, the extreme ends of the realm are tied together by the storied River Meander. The Meander is for most of its length a broad, placid waterway with a moderate west-to-east flow that makes transport from "upper" to "lower" Ensor relatively fast and easy, while not ruling out traffic against the current in the opposite direction. Most Ensormen half-consciously think of themselves as the children of the river, and in pagan days the goddess Meandra was widely worshipped as a somewhat unpredictable but overall benevolent and motherly deity.

Ensor is divided into five regions, which function as archdioceses within the hierarchy of the Kalentic Church of Ensor:
- Southsward, the cultured and temperate heartland of the kingdom, home to the capital city of Imbryck.
- Aurindell, the long middle reaches of the River Meander, filled with craggy fells, rich fields, rushing streams, picturesque ruins, and the hardy families that dwell amidst them.
- The Mistmarches, Ensor's southern hinterland, a lush but boggy land with a mystery on its border.
- Courant, a hilly pastoral peninsula filled with the influential descendents of a long-ago conquered race.
- Highmoor, the mountainous, moor-swept backwater of Ensor, home to free-spirited clans and ancient houses.
