Savanna

The savanna stretches out before you, a vast expanse of golden grasses swaying in the warm breeze. The sun beats down, casting a golden glow over the landscape. In the distance, you can see a herd of creatures grazing, their dark forms contrasting against the bright grasses. The sky is a deep blue, punctuated by puffy white clouds that slowly drift by. It's a place of endless horizons and wild, untamed beauty. The magic of the savanna is as diverse as its inhabitants, the dry grasses are perfect for fire magic. The bright unyielding sun and the vibrant wildlife an incredible battery for energy magic.
  Savannas are characterized by their vast expanses of grasslands, interspersed with drought-resistant trees and a distinct dry and wet season, typically drier in the summer months. They are also home to a diverse array of wildlife, each adapted to the unique conditions of this biome.   Wildfires are characteristic at the start of the dry season. For this reason, fire magic is incredibly powerful in this biome. It isn't atypical for entire areas of savanna to burn at the start of the dry season due to drought and incredible temperatures. Some say there are fire creatures that are known to be able to control and manipulate the fires, making them incredibly dangerous.  

Magic in the Savanna

In the small village of Kondor, nestled in the heart of the savanna, the people had always made do with what little resources they had. They had dabbled in energy magic to try to protect their homes with some success.   However, as the seasons changed and the floods became more frequent and devastating, the villagers knew they needed help. They sent a messenger to the nearby Dovaak outpost, asking for assistance in protecting their homes and livelihoods.   The Dovaak who were known for their mastery of energy magic, sent one of their own to the village. His name was Zoltar and he had a deep understanding of the workings of energy magic. Upon arriving, he immediately set to work, using his magic to strengthen the village's existing force fields and construct new ones to hold back the floods.   Thanks to Zoltar, Kondor thrived despite the harsh conditions of the savanna. The villagers had not only learned to survive, but they had also thrived, using their ingenuity and the help of energy magic to protect their village.
