Blasted Steppe
The Blasted Steppe is a region of unforested grasslands located to the north of the Heartlands. It is an arid and inhospitable land of rolling plains, piercing winds and stark mountain ranges, unclaimed by civilized nations and sparse in resources. The Blasted Steppe is best known for being the home of the infamous Dalantai tribes.

Location and climate
The region is bordered in the north by the Borean Tundra, in the east by Ankur and the Shadowlands, in the south by the Heartlands and in the west by Vormark. The Blasted Steppe has a very cold and arid climate characterized by an abundance of sunshine. Rainfall is very light all year round and natural reservoirs are mostly found in river valleys by the slopes of the mountains that border the region. Even in the height of summer, only the hardiest plants grow in the barren wastelands of the central regions of the Blasted Steppe. The freezing cold winters of the region last for about half the year but come with little snow.Geography
The Blasted Steppe is a vast flatland cradled by tall mountain ranges and broken by sporadic cliffs. Cold deserts dominate the eastern part of the region, and the greatest concentrations of life -- plants, beasts and mortals -- are found in the central and western parts close to the few seasonally blooming river valleys.
