Altus Plateau
According to the Elden Ring Wiki, Altus Plateau is a northwestern region of the Lands Between. It is a region of great significance, for it is here that the Erdtree can be found, as well as Leyndell, the royal capital of Queen Marika. Altus borders Liurnia of the Lakes to the south, and the Forbidden Lands which lead to the Mountaintops of the Giants to the east. Due to its high elevation, Altus is connected to its neighbouring regions primarily through two lifts; the Grand Lift of Dectus to the south and the Grand Lift of Rold to the east. There is another, more dangerous path to Liurnia that goes through the mountains separating the two regions. Source: https://eldenring.fandom.com/wiki/Altus_Plateau

The Golden Expanse of the Altus Plateau

The Altus Plateau, bathed in the golden radiance of the Erdtree,
was once the heartland of countless warring factions.
Before the rise of the Golden Order,
its rolling plains and sheer cliffs were stained with the blood of rival kingdoms,
each vying for dominance over this sacred land.
When Queen Marika established her rule, the plateau became the gateway to Leyndell,
the grand capital of her empire. The Erdtrees' blessing took root here, transforming the land into a symbol of divine order.
Great highways were built, leading warriors and pilgrims alike toward the foot of the capital, where ambition and faith intertwined.
Oceans vast, with mysteries grand,
Filling hearts across the land.
Carrying stories far and wide,
Endless beauty, endless tide.
Now and always, calm and wild.
