Öltenic Steppe (concept)

Biozone: Öltenic Steppe

The Öltenic Steppe is a vast expanse of open land stretching from the Aironoian Mountains in Western Aironoi to the Kasiryat River in the far east. Once considered part of the Aironoi Governate, the Steppe has long been the home of the nomadic Öltenic people. The Steppe has few notable landmarks or geographic markers, and for those unaccustomed to journeys through it, the land can be quite dangerous.

Beyond Western Aironoi lay the expansive Öltenic Steppe. Vast fields of rolling grass sprawl in every direction before us, the whole of steppe visible all the way to the horizon line. There is almost nothing to break the flat monotony across the landscape besides the scant few herds of animals migrating through the expanse. The nights are freezing cold, and harsh wind batters ours bodies almost every hour. It's hard not to feel absolutely miserable here, but hopefully we find something worthwhile.
