Western Steppe
The Western Steppe is a region of Atamor located to the west of the Lake of Susanne and limited in the north by the Frozen Mountains.
Geography
Most of the Western Steppe is flat grassland. In the south there are some hills which are the source of the few small rivers on the steppe. However, those rivers are mostly seasonal. The stable sources of water on the steppe are from lakes, for example the Lake of Susanne.
