The Otisco Rectory is comprised of two distinct landmasses separated by Phenic's Strait. South of Phenic's Strait is Skanateles, an island in the [[Nysdra Sea]]. Skanateles is relatively featureless, topographically speaking, and in terms of climate it is covered almost entirely by {{wp|boreal forests}}, with some coastal clearings where previous human activity took place during the period of [[Varshan]]i domination. North of Phenic's Strait is the Martis Peninsula, whose coastal lowlands are similar in climate and appearance to Skanateles. Further inland, the Martis Peninsula area elevates to about 50-90 feet above sea level, gently sloping upward with a handful of rocky outcroppings giving the landscape some definition. Administratively, the Rectory is divided into the "Insular Area" and "Peninsular Area", covering Skanateles and Martis, respectively. | |||
