Ardmore is a small sub-archipelago within the [[Ardmori Isles]], an archipelago in the [[Odoneru Ocean]] that is located off the southwestern coast of mainland [[Levantia]]. The small sub-archipelago that makes up Ardmore consists of [[Great Ardmore]], which is the largest island of both Ardmore and the Ardmori Isles and is home to the vast majority of Ardmore's population, and four small peripheral islands that surround Great Ardmore. To its east is the [[Mirana Sound]] which is sheltered by the Ardmori Isles. The four smaller islands each have names of their own, the most well-known of these names being ænglicizations of their Garán Gaelic names. The largest of the peripheral islands is named [[Beremore]] (''Béaramór''; "Big Bear"), and to its southeast is [[Bofinemore]] (''Bófinemór''; "Big Cow") which is the second-largest of the peripheral islands. The smallest two peripheral islands are closer to mainland Levantia which, respectively, are named [[Valentia]] (Ballentia; ''Béilinse''; "Mouth Island") and [[Inisharan]] (''Inisárain''; "Kidney Island"). | Ardmore is a small sub-archipelago within the [[Ardmori Isles]], an archipelago in the [[Odoneru Ocean]] that is located off the southwestern coast of mainland [[Levantia]].
