Galaggi Veldt

The Galaggi Veldt is a vast, wild grassland located on the southwest of the Rohagi continent. The area is notable for its largest city-state, Tesh, although it is also home to a wide variety of different cultures and civilizations.

Description

The Galaggi Veldt is a large grassland area that spans from a mountain range near the Meagre Sea to the Firewater Straits. It features numerous hills as well as wide open plains, with a gentle climate that is suitable for raising wine-producing vinhog.
The fringes and environs of the veldt include sizable swamps and selva, populated by a range of strange creatures and fungi. The rain around the veldt is notable for trapping the sunlight in its drops, such that it appears to rain light.

Agriculture

The Veldt is home to many of the continent's most famous wine producers, such as House Predicus, House Charium, and House Gneura. As such, the area produces most of the oil and wine that flows into Tesh and New Crobuzon, and even makes its way to Armada on occasion.
During the Tesh-New Crobuzon War, Tesh's reliance on Galaggi wine made the veldt a key area for the New Crobuzon Militia to control. During this time, many of the farming villages were razed and their populations massacred.

Cultures

The veldt is home to numerous cultures, from nomadic towns to farming villages. These include Dragonborn villages, notable for their culture of raising specialized, deformed dragonborn known as ge'ain as village guardians, as well as large, mobile Chelona-towns.
