The Caernathi Steppe is a temperate grassland of sparse vegetation, worked by Caernathi peasants and shepherds who scrape a hard living from its meager soil. It is held, loosely, by a scattering of forts — among them Brom, Vom, and Teryk — and the Ravenholt Monastery stands out alone on its expanse.
Nomad bands, orcblooded, and other goblinoids raid the settled steppe, and Lhazaaran elves strike inland from the northern coast. Ruined Caernathi keeps, temples, and mausoleums from before the Year of Trembling dot the grass, and the long scars of the old Lightning Rail often run parallel to the roads.
Rumors
- A hobgoblin tribe is said to have taken a keep somewhere out on the steppe.
- An avatar of Talavosh is rumored to wander the grasslands, scouting the land for the Empire’s next expansion.
