Staked Lands

The most sacred of places to the K’Haln in the Sea of Grass, the Staked Lands lie near the center of The Plains. The chieftains and great warriors of the tribes are laid to rest here on tall wooden platforms. Vultures are common in this area, as are other scavengers, and the smell or sight of the dead is never far away. Strips of prayer cloths snap in the wind and the normally hot grasslands seem to always be cool and overcast. Outsiders are often tempted to raid these burials as they are said to contain the greatest treasures these heroes bore in life. Those who contemplate such desecration should know that not just the K’Haln defend the Staked Lands, but the very spirit of the Sea of Grass is said to watch over it.
